I went to Adele, even then I believe everyone on the standby queue got in. It's just bad organisation making everyone go through security so many times, ticket checking, waiting, hanging around

I went to Glasvegas. It was the emptiest gig I have ever attended during the itunes festival.

They really need to change their ticket allocation procedure!

I'm really annoyed that I didn't go to that Bar FM comedy thing, especially as I live in Shepherds Bush.

The guy that was supposed to have been playing didn't, but there was lots of good comedy and Reginald D Hunter did his act last. I really like his comedy too :evil:

typical isnt' it? I saw him at the Soho Theatre, doing a work in progress for £10. A great place to go to see big acts working out thier new material. Russell Brand, Russell Howard, Eddie Izzard, Alan Carr, Jimmy Carr etc. All do these gigs for £10 in tiny 80 person venues

Went to see Park Avenue Cat last night at the Arts Theatre. Such a shame it had a very low turnout, the theatre might have been 25% full, plays just don't sell like musicals do. Well it's another candidate for some free SFF tickets I suppose :cross:
It was a nice enough situational comedy and even if you don't like it, it's painlessly short at 1hr 20 mins approximately. The acting was too deliberate and by the numbers in places. I was quite surprised for such a small production, how many set changes they have. In fact, one scene things got a little stuck and the engineer guy had to walk on stage to press his remote to make the set move!
6/10
