After three award-winning television series, Matt Lucas and David Walliams took Little Britain on the road. Their triumphant tour culminated with this amazing performance at the Blackpool Opera House in May 2006. The show welcomed the return of guest stars Anthony Head and Ruth Jones and featured all the favourite characters including Lou and Andy, Vicky Pollard, Marjorie Dawes, Dafydd, Carol, Sebastian and Michael, and many, many more.

Trailers "Little Britain: Live (2006)"

David Walliams trained for his swim across the English Channel while doing this tour.

Features all but one of the original cast from the radio show

In the Florence & Emily sketch there is a line referencing the 2005 The Pussycat Dolls single "Don't cha" with the two lines: "Don't cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me. Don't cha wish your girlfriend was a freak like me..."

During the opening credits, the Tardis is seen. Tom Baker (The Narrator) was the fourth Doctor Who.

In the amusement park sketch, Andy quotes "Suit you, sir!" which was the regular catchphrase of the Suit You Tailors, played in The Fast Show (1994) (TV Series) by Paul Whitehouse and Mark Williams, which Andy thinks is the TV show that Lou has brought him to Blackpool to see live on stage.

    With the huge success of the television series, it was almost impossible to think of Little Britain without a live tour. David Walliams and Matt Lucas brought us many of their most popular characters from the show onto stage with great speed in dressing and preparations. The characters they brought along included favourites Lou and Andy, Sebastian and The Prime Minister (Special Guest Anthony Head, but the one we saw had Lucas in his place), Vicky Pollard, Mr. Mann and shopkeeper Roy, Kenny Craig, Judy and Maggie (pukers), Carol Beer (Computer Says No), Marjorie Dawes, Bubbles De Vere, Emily Howard (the crap transvestite) with friend Florence, Dennis Waterman and Jeremy Rent, and of course, Daffyd Thomas (the only gay in the village, apparently) in a great musical finale. You would be insane to miss this show, I even saw it on stage! I must admit though seeing it on DVD is no way as good as seeing them in reality, especially when it was my 18th birthday. In fact, we were lucky to get third row Bournemouth International Centre's theatre, my Mum was even pointed and joked to by Marjorie Dawes, the coincidence was another Sheila (her name) was pointed before her, so she called her "Fat Sheila", and ended with "I've seen some fatties in my time, but you are something else." Very good!

    WARNING: This show is in very bad taste and is NOT recommended for children!! "Little Britain" is a very crude show and it's certainly not a program you would show your kids, your mother-in-law or Father Jenkins. So, not surprisingly, the same could be said for "Little Britain: Live"--though much, much more so. It has a lot of suggestive material--much more than the TV show and it will offend most viewers....except for fans of the show, who will probably love the raunchy antics. As for me, I loved it--the humor was even more extreme and disgusting than usual--so I laughed and enjoyed it. But, at the same time, my wife was completely miserable. She thought, as usual, that the show was just gross and awful! So, I would think that this show is for fans of the show--but probably not for most other people. If you have a high tolerance for gay humor, crude sexual references and vomiting, then you probably have found a new favorite! My favorite in the show? Daffyd, of course--and his show-stopping musical number at the end of the performance.
