Description
Dave Allen at Peace explores how Dave’s comedy genius was shaped by the tragic loss of his father, his brother…and his finger. How he survived decades of the Roman Catholic Church’s wrath, death threats from the IRA and a ban by Irish and Australian TV, only to have his television career end in controversy when he used the f-word in an innocuous joke.
The film is structured in affectionate homage to Dave’s original television format. From his famous bar stool, the comic reflects on his formative years and showbiz career. Flashbacks, some visualised as comedy sketches, intercut the bar stool repartee bringing significant moments to life.
