Filmed in front of a very small audience at the top of Blackpool Tower, Peter Kay makes his stand-up debut in style. Compared to his later shows, this one isn't as funny, it has a different feel to it and Peter Kay doesn't deliver as strongly as his later tours. This isn't a criticism of Top of the Tower but more of a compliment to how well he progressed and improved over the years. It is very common for comedians to start strong and slowly get worse over time, in my opinion; Peter Kay is an exception to this. Many of his well-known jokes are told here, 'Its spitting', 'Garlic Bread', 'Rola Cola' and many more are all on this.
Although over done over the years it still gets laughs from me every time I watch it. Peter Kay has the ability to come across charming and a very likable person, from a working class background telling jokes which almost every person watching can relate to.
Peter Kay has gone on to be incredibly successful, this is where his stand up days all began and seeing him looking so young really makes me feel old!
8/10
