Most Popular Stand-Up Comedy DVDs In The UK In December 2012

Stand-up comedy DVDs are always very popular towards the end of the year, at least here in the UK. They also make the perfect Christmas present because they are not overly expensive, and they will hopefully make people laugh.

In this article I want to look at the top-selling stand-up DVDs here in the UK, and point out which comedians seem to be the most popular right now as we head towards Christmas.

Many Brits will be unsurprised to hear that it is Michael McIntyre who is currently enjoying the most sales from his new 2012 DVD. Michael McIntyre has had his own TV show on BBC1 on Saturday nights, and is now one of the most-loved comics in Britain right now.

Another comedian who has shot to fame in a relatively short space of time is John Bishop, and this comedian, who hails from Liverpool, is also enjoying huge sales right now. In fact it is only Michael McIntyre who is selling more copies out of all the stand-ups that have released a new product this year.

Apart from these two comedians, Peter Kay has the third most popular stand-up DVD at the time of writing, and remains one of the most popular stand-ups, despite being overshadowed somewhat by Michael McIntyre in the last couple of years.

The young Scottish comedian Kevin Bridges is next on the list, and then we have a female comedian who has enjoyed a rapid rise to fame - Sarah Millican.

After this, we have some familiar names who are selling a decent number of copies, but still nowhere near the likes of Michael McIntyre and John Bishop.

These include Jack Whitehall, Dara O'Briain, Rhod Gilbert, Micky Flanagan and the hugely controversial Frankie Boyle.

If you look further down the list, you will see that some British comedians actually have more than one DVD on the list of the top 20 best-sellers. These include Sarah Millican, Peter Kay and Kevin Bridges, who must be raking it in right now.

Overall, though, it is the same big names right at the top of the list as we head towards the end of 2012. Michael McIntyre, Peter Kay and John Bishop are arguably the most popular stand-ups in the UK right now, and this is reflected in the sales figures because they all occupy the top of the list at the present time.

It remains to be seen whether they will still be there this time next year. Maybe we will see a new name break through, just like others have in recent years.
