Britt Gillette reviews the Bill Engvall DVD Here's Your Sign - Live
Fans of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour will love this Bill Engvall DVD featuring over 72 minutes of nothing but a microphone and the family-themed, side-splitting comedy of this highly successful comedian. With sales of over two million comedy albums to his credit, as well as success with various TV shows and books, Bill Engvall knows how to make people laugh. As one of four members of the highly acclaimed Blue Collar Comedy Tour, Engvall has firmly cemented himself in the comedian's hall of fame…
I first saw Bill on The Tonight Show when I was ten years old. He delivered the best stand-up routine I've ever seen, and I still remember much of it word-for-word to this day… Central to the routine was his trademark tagline "Here's your sign" (referring to a "stupid sign" handed out to people who make dumb remarks). Just like his colleague Jeff Foxworthy, Engvall has managed to keep that tagline not only going, but has done so while inventing a hilarious treasure trove of new material. This guy is just plain funny.
In the Bill Engvall DVD Here's Your Sign - Live, the cutting edge comic delivers a dynamic performance worthy of his past success. Tackling the issues and themes of family, fatherhood, and marriage, he serves up a number of memorable one-liners and hilarious stories. But what makes Engvall so funny is that his humor is easy to relate to. Most people can identify with the subjects he tackles, and as everyone knows, all great humor has an element of truth in it.
Engvall's DVD is good humor, and it's filled with countless stories about his family. Such as the time he took a cross-country trip with his son and unsuspectingly stopped for dinner at a topless steakhouse… You can't make this stuff up, and he delivers anecdote after hilarious anecdote. This is a comic with a bright and shining star, and all connoisseurs of stand-up comedy should assign this to their list of "must see" entertainment…
