Checked Ticketmaster this morning and cheapest left in Brum were at £187 each. I don't think so. Edited March 31, 2023 by Xela 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on the fence but didn't bother Said it before but arena comedy gigs don't do anything for me, it definitely loses something, can't begrudge them the success of performing in front of more people, but it's not for me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 200 sheets now. For a Monday night arena gig. I've seen him before (Science, I think) and not desperate to see him again, especially at those amounts!

theboyangel Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Saw Ivo Graham midweek and he was very very good indeed. He's touring again later in the year with new material so will go see him again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he the dude that's on the newest series of taskmaster? he's pretty good on that but I don't think his humour would translate to stand up for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His stand up show was very funny too and he can keep an audience laughing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted April 22, 2023 Author Share Posted April 22, 2023 I got tickets to Sarah Millicans playground gig in Stafford in June. I mentioned up thread but there is 5 or 6 comedians trying out new material hosted by her, £9 a ticket. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 I have started watching 8 out of 10 cats does countdown lately. I went there for Jimmy Carr, but I stayed there for Sean Lock. Sean Lock is brilliant. The guy doesn't know how to be not funny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed effortless and was generous allowing time for younger or more inexperienced stand ups who joined him on the panel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serafinowicz is taking his Brian Butterfield character on tour this year. I'm not exactly sure how you spin that character out into a whole show, but I'm sure it'll be a good time. Oddly enough, shortly after he's then joining Brian Eno's first live tour with the Baltic Sea Philharmonic (did vocals on Eno's "The Ship" album). Very different ends of the spectrum! Those superb Garth Marenghi shows from earlier in the year have (quite rightly) yielded a second full book tour, and I cannot recommend that enough. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with Paul Chowdhry and Jimmy Carr both who I've seen many times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the most uncomfortable part of the night was the temperature in the theatre. Everyone was sweating and fanning themselves! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Stewart Lee at Wolves Civic years ago on his carpet remnant world tour, in 2012. It was late May and it was uncomfortably hot in the venue. His next tour is at the Grand so at least the seats will be comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was superb (as always) and yeah, the venues AC must have been on the blink because it was sweltering. Him mentioning 'Round the Wrekin' was a top class moment 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
