Mike Reid - Some of That!

About This Movie

So, Mike Reid - Some of That! from '97 is an interesting watch, especially if you're into UK comedy and maybe familiar with Reid's work on 'Eastenders' or 'Runaround'. The atmosphere is quite raw, leaning into the blue comedy territory, full of those classic, slightly crass mother-in-law gags that somehow feel both dated and timeless. The pacing varies quite a bit, with some bits hitting hard and others feeling a tad stretched, but that's the charm of stand-up, right? Reid’s performance has this engaging, almost conversational vibe that draws you in, even if the humor doesn't always land. It's one of those recordings that captures a moment in time, reflecting the kind of comedy that was prevalent back then.

The release of 'Mike Reid - Some of That!' on VHS initially had a limited run, making it somewhat of a niche find among collectors. As far as formats go, it's primarily known for its VHS release, with no major DVD or Blu-ray editions that have surfaced, contributing to its scarcity. Interest in this recording tends to be more from those who appreciate stand-up and the specific style of late '90s British humor, which gives it a unique place in a collector's catalog.
