kirsten Posted November 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 I've checked my tickets, apparently we're at front tables in the stalls. Tables? At the Music Hall? Ca-razy days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teabags Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 I'll be in the rafters. in the shadows. Looking down at the tables at the front. Rubbing myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Got to be honest, I thought his Comedy Vehicle programme was toe-curlingly awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Quoted for truth.No it wasn't.Loved the show last night. I would list all the parts I found funny but it would be a list of pretty much everything he said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester1470 Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 I thought he was very funny, a bit safer than I would have expected and I really enjoyed the German guy, who's name escapes me just now, but I bought his DVD, Sometimes I find Stewart Lee's reliance on repetition a bit dull but it wasnt too bad last night, When i saw Richard Herring a year or so ago, he did a full 2 hour set and althoguh it was good some of it felt a bit stretched, and I was left thinking he shoul;d have done what Stewart Lee did last night as iot worked perfectly.

Mr Owl PhD Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 I thought Stewart Lee was very funny last night, despite being a 'milder comedian'. I particularly liked it that he came on stage to "I am a Tree" by Guided by Voices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirsten Posted November 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 The man does seem to love Robert Pollard...Lovely show. I saw it in Edinburgh and not much had changed, but a few little things. Still hilarious though. And Henning Wehn was a delightful surprise. I've been meaning to see him for a few years now, so it was a nice two-in-one.StewLee was in the foyer afterwards signing things. I managed not to be a sycophant despite him being my favourite comeejin ever and instead spoke to him about the Male Nurse and Country Teasers. Glad I've finally met him after seeing him just standing around at the Gilded Balloon in Edinburgh, just totally freezing and being unable to go say hi to him and hating myself ever since. All wrongs have now been righted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan G Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Really enjoyed his set last night, although possibly not quite as good as his last couple of DVD sets... the music hall might have contributed to that, atmosphere-wise. Like Jester says, he was a little TOO heavy on repetition jokes.. I think one of those types of jokes per set is acceptable but he must have had at least 3 of them this time. Awesome comedian though.

kirsten Posted November 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 I hope that next time he comes back, it's at the Lemon Tree again. I like the fact that he commented on how formal the Music Hall set-up was and that everyone could have fit downstairs in the stalls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Didn't see this thread until now. I really enjoyed the show - had been humming and hahing for a while but decided to go when I saw Henning Wehn was supporting (the star of the last series of The Unbelievable Truth for me). I was up in the balcony and it was fine, but the music hall really didn't suit the set-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
