Fluid presentation and thematic cohesion are not necessarily something one expects in abundance from a man famous for breaking fruit with a sledgehammer, but even by the balding one's standards, Gallagher's Overboard is just that, flailing aimlessly for a little less than an hour. Granted, his Reagan-era political humor can't help but feel dated, since it is dated, but even his other bits feel less spirited than usual. What's presented as sketches on American excess quickly descends into foreigner bashing and dead-tired observations on the differences between men and women: men don't like to ask for directions, women spend a lot of time in the bathroom, yadda yadda yadda. The funniest stuff here is unintentional: audience reaction shots so ridiculously over the top that they must have been staged. When you think of it, there you have the most astute commentary on American excess: a standup comedian who not only tells his audience when to laugh but how. --Bob Michaels

Customer Reviews of Gallagher's Overboard
Some of Gallagher's Best Work. I completely disagree with the other reviewers of this show. This is some of Gallagher's most elaborate staging, most inventive and imaginative use of props, and by far the extravagant spending of money to make people laugh. Gallagher really did go Overboard when he did this one. The whole show is based around taking it easy, enjoying the ocean and beach, checking out sexy babes, watching out for seagulls and flying Killer whales, etc. The whole show is just plain Fun!!!
Gallagher's Overboard
I was very disappointed with this one. The beginning of it was somewhat funny and it just seemed to go downhill from there. It also seemed a little short, almost like they were rushing to get it done. Wasn't very impressed and wouldn't recommend you purchase this one. I gave it two stars.
