Im getting a bit bored of buying the latest and greatest (rubbish) releases for close up and falling for the hype etc. Just got paid so looking for a comedy/stand up dvd to get the hamster wheel in the head going. Can anyone recommend any good ones, been thinking of Mel Mellars any others?

Thanks im advance

Hi there.. Yes mel mellars is a idea comedy stand up magician, also a funny man with a good magic brain. Regards Garry

There are 5 Mel Mellors DVDs I have. All the material is simple and very usable.

You will not be able to use his style though--just adapt the material to your own.

Tomorrow I will list the contents of each DVD for you.
Busy tonight.
An ex member of our Theatre Company for lunch tomorrow .
After that I will type the lists out for you

Here craige are the other 2 Mel Mellors DVDS.
Not sure if he ever did any more--I felt 5 was enough for my Library and I rarely buy DVDS--it has to be, & alwasy was- books with me.

But Mel Mellor's effects are I felt very commercial for the right performer. i.e -- a performer who has an excellent audience performing personality, enjoys comedy with mystery and likes people.
