Yeah it's cool. Good value too. I went for a fiver once.

The Glasgow Comedy Festival is in a couple of weeks as well. Quite want to go see Adam Hills at the King's and need to look into the programme and see if there's anything else on I fancy. I miss the year I won a Channel 4 competition and they sent me to Edinburgh, put me up in a hotel and I got unlimited access to a few venues.

Adam Hills is great. The missus and I are going to the Last Leg taping this Friday.

[METALMAN]

why wasn't I invited? :/

[Lineker]

Would you like to come?

[METALMAN]

No it's my dad's birthday 

[Lineker]

Well there wasn't a ticket for you anyway. So good.

Yeah I've seen him five or six times now. Always a cracking show. If you've seen the story he tells about the forensics guy and the farmer during the foot and mouth outbreak I was in the comedy club the night that happened

@Lineker Never mind. Can't. It's my dad's birthday.

Oh yeah, Play That Goes Wrong is fucking hilarious. It's incredibly well put together and I couldn't stop laughing.

Just booked front row tickets for Shit Faced Shakespeare. A completely serious performance of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Nights Dream, with the exception that one actor at random will be completely fucking drunk.

It's just nice to be asked, that's all.

Sounds awesome.

I'd be interested to see how Hamilton does over here, given that 99 out of a hundred people wouldn't be able to tell you who Alexander Hamilton was. That said, I don't know how much people knew about Mormonism either.

To be fair, he's not exactly a superstar over here either.  All I knew about him before listening to the musical was that he was killed in a duel with Aaron Burr and that he was involved with the Federalist Papers (though I didn't know to what extent).  One of these things is important to the plot of the play, and they rip that bandaid off immediately in the first song with Burr proclaiming to be the "damn fool who shot him."

The King's Theatre are doing a three play series about monarchs James I, James II and James III all in one day on 9 and 10 April and I really wanna go. Know I'll never talk anybody in to going with me though and sitting through three plays from 11am - 10pm by myself might be a bit much.

Is this the right thread?

[LL!]

Of course it is. Cats is a long running show.
