Voted as Britain's funniest man Johnny Vegas hosts his first ever entertainment series. Re-live the best bits of the hit show Johnny Vegas: 18 Stone of Idiot as Johnny invites you into his bizarre but comical world. Vegas is joined by a host of celebrity guests Ray Winstone, Kathy Burke, Elvis Costello, David Soul, Huey Morgan and Rhys Ifans who he interviews in his own unique way. For the first time ever the very best bits from the series are presented here on this essential jam-packed DVD alongside all the bits too outrageous for TV and loads of never-before-seen material. This is Johnny at his crude, rude, hilarious best!

'What is love, anyway?' is a heart-warmingly honest and personal examination of the romantic (and not so romantic) adventures and misadventures of the UK's most prolific comedian, as well as a genuine attempt to define this mysterious, debilitating, evil and wondrous emotion.

Jesus Christ - Son of God! Saviour of mankind! Superstar! Richard Herring - Son of Keith, a retired headmaster! Once saved a spider that had become trapped in his bath, only crushing three of its legs in the process! Hosted 10 episodes of a chatshow about poker on a satellite channel which subsequently closed down! At first sight they have little in common. Or do they? Join Rich as he answers this question, substantially reworking his first and favourite solo work, Christ on a Bike. Now ten years older than the Messiah when he died, has Herring achieved as much with his life?

Here's a brand new show from Adam that we recorded in the BFI in London earlier in the year. It's hilarious. It was one of those nights where we had such a good time we couldn't wait to share it with you all. The show was a best-of compilation of Adam's favourite routines from the past few years. In it, he talks about real life struggles that we can all relate to - working from home whilst trying to avoid the internet. Luckily for us he doesn't manage to keep away from it for too long, as we get to see his search history looking at the work of some beloved performers together with the views of the YouTube commentary community. When relaxing away from the internet we are also treated to a selection of videos that Adam has made that give a pretty good insight into his home life. He even says 'my wife' in a robot voice.

Rich is single, never been married, has got no kids. Has he wasted his life? Is it time to finally grow up and get out the pipe and slippers and await the blessed release of death? Or does life really begin at 40, giving him the excuse to go around in nappies and make jokes about poo and wee for a good three years to come?

Herrring shares with us his world of gonorrhea-transmitting magpies, his attempts to become successor to Pope John Paul II, and his local supermarket's utterly humiliating new checkout service: the grocery interrogation.

"Oh Frig, I'm 50!" is the sequel to Herring's 2007 show "Oh F*ck, I'm 40!". Ten years on, he's more reflective and less hedonistic, poking fun at life's changes and his own ageing body. The show is both introspective and celebratory, coinciding with the 30th anniversary of his first Fringe appearance.

John-Luke Roberts is too anxious to leave the house, so a figment from a nightmare called “The Monarch” has to perform his show for him. The Monarch doesn’t know how to perform a comedy show, but does it anyway. This is that show. An anxiety dream performed live on stage; or a comedy show about anxiety.

Has Adolf Hitler ruined that little mustache for everyone? The only time you'll see it these days is carved into the pubic hair of a naughty lady. Is it possible to reclaim the toothbrush mustache (as it should be called) for comedy? After all, Chaplin had it first. In the critically acclaimed "Hitler Moustache," comedian Richard Herring determines to find as well as discovering how people will respond to this contentious face furniture when it's growing out of his face. Will they assume he's crazy or a fascist or both? Will they spit at him, punch him or just laugh in his face?

“I went to a funeral the other day. Caught the wreath…” That’s what came to me, from the mysterious source of the inexplicable. Hear the story of the joke, the painting, and what happened next. This show was recorded in the hot and sweaty Bill Murray comedy pub in January 2020. It includes a rather splendid after the credits section, and a cool video extra too.

John-Luke Roberts works his way through the collapse of his long-term relationship but pretends it’s just a stupid comedy show.

His live stand up show recorded for DVD by Go Faster Stripe in Cardiff in late 2014.

After covering weighty issues like death, love, religion and spam javelins, the 'King of Edinburgh' (6 Music) is in a frivolous mood with this show about daftness, whether the term cool comedian is an oxymoron, bouncing joyously on the sofa and how Herring's whole career is a failed attempt to top a piece of visual slapstick comedy he came up with at 16. Can he revisit the joke thirty years on, or will it smash his old bones?

It's an object of shame and pride; it can inspire laughter and fear; it's a symbol of power, yet it's incredibly fragile and weak; it can be a pound of flesh or an ounce of winkles, it can be used to express both love and hate; it creates life, it can condemn us to death... and it can do wees as well. How can one tiny flap of sponge and sinew be all these things? Though men may brag and exaggerate about their little chap, they rarely talk honestly about it or their insecurities. Whilst women celebrate their sexuality in worldwide smash The Vagina Monologues, men are twisting their genitals into the shape of hamburgers in Puppetry of the Penis. Isn't it time for the twisting to stop and the schlong celebration to begin. Isn't it time for a Vagina Monologues with balls?

An hour of Broken Sort-Of Stand-Up. Has a song about Patricia Routledge, a joke about a fish, and a bit where a bear carries JLR off the stage.

Sean has been dealing with his father’s death in a way that only Sean can. Here is a comedy performance from Sean like you’ve never seen before. This hilarious yet poignant tale is a beautiful insight into the lighter side of dying and getting older, going to places that comedy rarely goes, highlighting how ridiculous life is and how quickly it can be taken away.

An hour of esoteric comedy performed to distract you from the murder John-Luke Roberts commits during the show.

An entirely improvised comedy play, with a cast who conjure up a 'lost' Jane Austen novel, based on nothing more than a title suggested by the audience.

"it’s just an hour of an elderly gentleman faffing about with things he keeps in a bag." Chortle It's said that you shouldn't meet your heroes, but it turns out as long as your hero is Norman Lovett, then it's all OK. Norman is probably best known for his portrayal of Holly in Red Dwarf. And we've managed to fulfil another one of our comedy ambitions, spending time with him making this DVD. It was recorded in September 2011, just after Norman finished a run in Edinburgh, so he's primed and red hot - not that you'd notice of course. Norman’s style of laid back surrealist whimsy masks the fact that he was “on fire” that night. Why not see for yourself and see if he doesn't become your hero too.

A recording of a show called The Interminable Suicide of Gregory Church, which Daniel Kitson toured for around six months in 2011, having written it initially for a run at the Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh in 2009. This film was recorded at the Tobacco Factory in Bristol on one night in 2011 and edited over two months in 2020.
