Hopefully this will come back in stock at Penguin, because it's a nice 2-DVD set. I have "Educating
Archer," which I enjoyed even more, but this set has some solid routines as well. The standouts for
me were "Blank Night," "De-Ja-Tu," and "One Lucky Number." I also enjoyed seeing the 3 effects from
his close-up set.
I don't have a problem with the fact that a couple of the effects require
buying additional gimmicks/props. Isn't this also the case with many, many other DVDs? John even
explains that some of the effects (like "Soundbox," which requires a special prop) are BONUS
effects. And a main reason you buy a John Archer DVD is to see his performances, which are a riot.
There's some great comedy on all of his DVDs, including this set!
