Charlie Pickering has been making a name for himself lately with his hosting job on Channel Ten's 7pm Project and his regular spot on Talkin' bout your Generation with Shaun Micallef. He was a stand-up comedian before getting onto these shows and continues to perform stand-up. This DVD is of one of his recent live shows at the Warehouse Comedy Festival in Melbourne.
His persona in this live show is quite different to his television work, which he explains at the beginning of the show by describing all the restrictions placed on him during television shows. This show is quite funny, very non-PC and certainly worthy of some good laughs. He roams the stage, covering topics as diverse as racism, kid’s names, birthday parties, politics, sex, vegans, teenagers, feeling old and personal trainers. This is not the show for you if you need your comedy to be politically correct or cannot stand swearing.
A funny show and a DVD worth seeing if you enjoy stand-up.
The video quality is pretty good with no major issues. The feature is presented in a 1.78:1 aspect ratio which is the original aspect ratio. It is 16x9 enhanced.
The picture was quite clear and sharp throughout. The colour was very good with no issues to report. There were no obvious artefacts.
There are no subtitles.
There is no layer change during playback.

The audio quality is very good. This disc contains a English soundtrack in Dolby Digital 2.0 encoded at 224Kb/s.
Dialogue was clear and easy to hear and understand, obviously the most important sound attribute for stand-up. The surround speakers and subwoofer were not used.

The menu included music.
The conversation with his manager which resulted in the DVD title, Live at the Time of Recording. Maybe...
NOTE: To view non-R4 releases, your equipment needs to be multi-zone compatible and usually also NTSC compatible.
This disc is only available in Region 4 but is coded for all regions.
A funny stand-up show featuring a much bluer Charlie Pickering than you see on TV.
The video quality is pretty good. The audio quality is very good. One small extra.
