After watching Micky Flanagan's Out Out Tour on DVD I booked tickets for his latest stand up, 'Back In The Game'. After seeing him live I brought the DVD and have since watched it 3 or 4 times, with each viewing being as enjoyable as the previous. Back In The Game is even better than his first stand up, It has a very similar feel and thankfully he didn't change his style and approach, he is still the crafty cockney with a light-hearted and unique look at the world. He continues to tell us stories of his upbringing, past relationships, shoplifting, problems with marriage and even touches on 9/11 (but don't worry, it's not in bad taste!).
Micky Flanagan is easily one of my favourite stand-up comedians and Back in the Game is a personal favourite of mine. It is a shame that we only have two DVDs to enjoy; hopefully he continues to tour the country for many more years as it would be a disaster for him not to!
9/10
