Milton Jones Live: Universe Tour – Part One: Earth [DVD]

Having seen Milton live earlier this year I figured it would be worth digging out his older material so grabbed a copy of this DVD. I have to confess I didn’t immediately get the joke on the front of it being the Universe tour and this his first stop, but I must have had a slow morning.

Built around visits to various places in the world from London to China to prison, it’s split into little mini sections complete with Milton walking on and off between them.

Packed with hilarious one-liners and some extra filmed segments between the parts which are brilliant in their own right it’s just as good as his second DVD and, at times, actually better.

Jones does seem to run out of steam in the final third of the DVD as his visits to various places become shorter and shorter, which is a shame as the sketch on the ocean is possibly one of the best on the DVD, but there’s much to enjoy over its one hour running time.

Sadly, like his second DVD there are no extras and on this one not even an encore and if you can get over the stop-and-start nature of the set-up of this gig then there’s a lot to laugh at here and well worth a pick up if you live one-liners.

8/10
