    So, no traffic in a while...

    Anyhoo, anybody see them at the O2 in January? Thoughts?
    I know it was ages ago but I thought it was brilliant! I thought it's be crap though after the start when they did Future Sailors, it was fairly bad.... But no, it was class!

    I'd seen them in the Olympia in september and it was miles miles better. I guess they work better in smaller settings. I was in the front row at the o2 (:D) and it was good, from what I remember anyway... Julian flipped me the bird when I shouted something! That was awesome.

    I went to both the O2 & Olympia. I did prefer Olympia. Better setting for that kind of thing, even if I couldnt see for the first half :mad:

    Hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

    I couldn't see either, the stupid bars in the top shelf were in my way. After ten minuts I just went "screw it" and knealt (sp?) on the floor, peeping between the bars!

    I was at both also and really enjoyed them. The end at the O2 was brilliant when they did all the songs, and of course Eleanor! I'd nearly take up bingo if I thought it'd be nearly that funny :) When the hitcher rang up into the crowd that was hilarious.

    Same here, loved the show but it just seemed the O2 was just a bit too big for the set...

    didnt help that when noel/the hitcher went up into the crowd his mic cut out after a certain distance! although i think the sound set up was better in the point (it will always be the point to me) i loved both shows!

    That happened in the Olympia too, I guess that's the problem with seeing comedians twice

    Yeah I remember Tony getting stuck in the chair as well.

    Saw them at the Olympia and enjoyed it immensely, was very funny. Was also there the night he got stuck in the chair.

    It happened him in Edinburgh as well....hmmm. The show in the point was good, but I wished people would stop cheering everythingthey did or said, it got a bit ridiculous


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,944 ✭✭✭Jay P


    I was annoyed that loads of teenage girls got all the best seats, and I was stuck up at the back. Also, +1 on the cheering.

    Hi guys,
    Just a quick question. Going to my first gig there in February and got seats in Block A Row 30. Are all the seats the same in there or are there better ones? Just so I know in future.

    Cheers,
    M
