Outside of pantos not been to the theatre in years , over the next month or so going to see Merchant of Venice (done that at O-Level don’t think I actually read it all got the quicker précis ) and Plaza Suite
I was at Frank Skinner last night in Shatesbury Avenue, ageing comic who has still got it. It's only a short run in town but thoroughly recommended.
Done quite a few shows this month, Jonathan Pie, Cabaret and doing Cable Street on Tuesday, as well as Live Aid at Old Vic in a few weeks.
This retirement lark is murder!
I was there as well. I thought he was a bit below par due to being unwell. Did you see Jonathan Ross & his wife in the foyer as we exited?
No I didn't, but heard later they were there. You were in row k seat 6? I thought it was you. I still really enjoyed the show, he missed his radio show yesterday.

Bloody hell, yes we were in K7 & K8. Where were you? I stood up for a good few minutes looking around because I often see someone I know (even though wife thinks I'm mad). Thanks you kinda proved me right. I would have recognized you, but didn't see you.
Off to see the new Jez Butterworth on Tuesday. The Hills of California at The Harold Pinter. Doubt it will live up to Jerusalem, but still looking forward to it.

M8 M9 Its been a while since I saw you last so I was not 100% sure it was you. Annoyed I didn't now!
Late posting this but Nicole Scherzinger as Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard was off the charts outstanding. We had last night tickets so couldn’t go back again. It was that good that I’m even thinking of planning a trip to New York to see the show on Broadway.
Went to see guys and dolls at the bridge again on Thursday with Daniel Mays this time. (He finishes next week) Enjoyed it again and sat in different seats from the first time so saw from different angle. It’s very clever. Missed Cedric O’Neal but still think Marisha Wallace steals the show.
Also saw the unfriend with Lee Mack. Was ok.
Also saw The Enfield Haunting which was better than we thought it was going to be.

Just back from this. Absolutely loved it. Funny, depressing and ultimately a fantastic bit of writing brought to life by an excellent cast.
Ricky Gervais tickets are currently available on live nation for 4 dates next week/week @ Leicester Sq Theatre, London if you are quick - only £17 each + fees. Went on sale at 10am but despite forgetting about it until just now, I was still able to buy tickets for 5th March.

Cheers, just grabbed one for the 4pm show on 12th March.

I saw this show last Monday 19th. Ricky does alternate 20 min slots with other comedians.

Saw The Unfriend a few weeks ago. Would give it a 7/10.
Very good and a fun performance. If you are of a certain age you will enjoy it.
I'll second that! Went last night! I was 28 then and this was the era of my music.
For those that can remember Live Aid clearly like yesterday, there are roughly as many years between Live Aid and now, as between the end of the 2nd World War and Live Aid!

Jeez, as someone who was lucky enough to be at Wembley that day, this has made me feel very old!

Hope you enjoy it.
