Went to Marsala Talk today at the Southbank.... It was a really odd combination of a cooking show, chat show and a stand up routine. It was passable, but really didn't gel very well and there was far too much swearing considering his young daughter was also in the audience. 4.5/10
Did anyone else go?

I am not sure where to post this,
but perhaps people who follow this thread are the most likely to be interested
in Guy Dammann's review of "Berlin Philharmonic - a Musical Journey in 3D"
(if there is a better place please feel free to move the post):

Edward Reid from Britain's Got Talent who sang "Oh Mcdonald" with the music from Run is rumoured to have copied the idea from Frisky and Mannish actually. Would love to see them on Wednesday but I am already doing something else :undecided:
They are also performing at Udderbelly, hopefully there might be some free tickets for that

Last year I won tickets to see Into the Woods at Regent's Park. Unfortunately, it started raining shortly before the show was about to start. We sat in the rain for 10 min or so, and then it was announced that due to adverse weather conditions the performance was cancelled. I went to the box office, where I was told that I wasn't entitled to get a ticket to another performance. Needless to say, I was extremely annoyed. BTW, it does say in the terms and conditions of the competition:

"should the performance be cancelled due to weather, tickets are not transferable to another performance."
