Dave Allen At Peace
Dave Allen At Peace celebrates the professional life of the renowned Irish comedian. Aidan Gillen plays the provocative godfather of modern stand-up.
This drama focuses on the controversial comedian's forty-year career, from performing alongside his brother as a Butlin's Redcoat to becoming one of the UK and Ireland's comedy greats. Written by Stephen Russell (We're Doomed! The Dad's Army Story), this film explores how Dave's comedy genius was shaped by the tragic loss of his father, his brother... and his finger. How he survived decades of the Roman Catholic Church's wrath, death threats from the IRA and a ban by Irish and Australian TV, only to have his television career end in controversy when he used the f-word in an innocuous joke.
