Dave Allen was a comedian in the 80's. He did mostly stand-up, but there are a few sketches that survived and can now be found on youtube. I copied some links of a few of them here for you to watch.

NOTE: The humour is not for everyone. These were other times. If you are over 25 it's more likely you'll be able to relate to this.
