i'm going to it next wednesday, i went and saw politics live and it was brilliant.

A friend of mine went and reckons it was really good. Very close to the mark by all accounts.

I'm off to see Al Murray tonight in a warm up for his shows, can't wait.

I've been, it was good yeah. He's very funny but also very scripted, there's no interaction with the audience really which is something I enjoy about Live comedy. The improvisation stuff (even if there's plants the interaction is good). The Apollo itself was very hot and I was very tired and found myself getting quite restless in there towards the last 20 minutes. Was it worth the ticket price? Probably not, a very enjoyable evening, but I think i'll stick to the Comedy Store and Up The Creek for Live comedy in the future. Plus his mate Robin something or other who warmed up was awful!

went last night, thought it was excellent very close to the mark a few times but had me pissing myself all the way through.

also see what you mean about the support guy robin, was ok but found myself getting bored with him.

my turn tonight - my critique may or may not be up here tomorrow.

Oh how i laughed.

Pretty much agree with everything r&c has said, some things were very close to the mark.

If i started a thread on Ricky's first 15 minutes i reckon it would:

1.) Sunk by the magic AFKA sinking stick
or
b.) cause an uproar from the PC crew. ;-)

All being said he was hilarious - i loved the Dawn French bashing especially.
