    Was at the gig on the friday night and although there was a few yuks there was a few jokes i'd heard before and
    a re-hashing of the kraftwerk style parodies that everyone knows by now.

    I had the misfortune of sitting beside some absolute fools.
    The girl behind me was a ****tard and thought that she was having a personal conversation with Bailey, either that or she thought she was at a pantomime...
    She actually said, "Dont go in there Bill" at one stage...

    I'll probably get the dvd tho.... :)

    Had one like that at his last gig in the O2. One of the thing I remember her saying was 'OMG Bach would be rolling in his grave' and 'I play the violin myself' she was saying **** like this every 2 minutes. She was about 4 rows behind me though.

    Only really know him from black books and spaced. Never been to one of his shows apart from his remarkable guide so I was laughing at most of his material and thought he was excellent. His three encores were a nice suprise:)

    Went to see Bill on Friday night. I was really looking forward to it as I had seen him in the Olympia last year. That time I couldn't wait for the interval because I was getting a headache from laughing so much. On Friday night I felt I was forcing myself to laugh. Lots of rehashed material. Don't think I'll be rushing back to see him for a while.

    Bill promised a brand new show but instead we got a repeat of the Olympia show. What doesn't compute?

    it was HIS brand new show, what we saw in the olympia was the warm up shows where he tries out and tests new material while at the same time doing a "greatest hits" from tinselworm!

    How can you describe the O2 show as a brand new show when it was identical in content to the Olympia show?

    Was it the same stuff? Don't feel as bad that I missed it now, had a ball in the Olympia, the size of the venue helped. I can't imagine the atmosphere would have translated as well in the Point.
