    No, and I think he only played the UK for the first time in 2010.

    What would his live show be like?
    so much kind of rides on his funny videos... would he have them in the background / does he do multiple costume changes?

    Either way, I'd say this could be hilarious! I was watching lots of his videos last night... brilliant stuff!

    He wears the relevant costumes for each song, so it's a full-on "performance". His band are killer as well.

    I hope he gets off the plane in Dublin and Frank Drebin gets off before him to give a speech... that'd be great.

    Is this the cartoon character of Southpark fame?

    If you want to get into it, you got to get out of it. (Hawkwind 1982)

    Thanks Dermo! I just booked myself some seated tickets. The wife doesn't have much tolerance for standing at gigs so that was handy.

    No idea if this will sell out quickly but nice to have the tickets sorted well in advance

    It looks like on Ticketmaster you will only be able to buy standing tickets. Got 2 tickets in the pre-sale, fair play Dermo on posting that.

    Is there a way to avoid (minimize) the Ticketmaster service charge? I don't think there is a box office at Vicar Street, right?

    I looked on Ticketmaster and it seems that all the seated tickets are sold out, but standing is available. Does that sound right? All the tickets seem to be the same price.

    If I'm not mistaken, the Vicar St box office would only be open on event nights and probably only to facilitate tickets sales and/or collections for the night. I bought tickets through his official site through the pre-sale and I seem to remember all the tickets were at the same price for that.

    Buy them from an outlet, preferably Stephens Green. There used to no charge per ticket from here if you paid by debit or cash although I'm not sure if that's still the case.

    I am not sure it still is like that. Heard that you have to pay everywhere now, but it's worth a shot

    They charged me when I paid by debit the last couple of times alright but wasn't sure about cash. Still at €2, it's a lot cheaper then some of the fees they charge for the pricier gigs when buying online.

    Yeah, on that point, I've never been to a gig in Vicar St. The ticket says doors 7:30, show at 8:30, so if i show up at 8:20 it should be grand?

    I think you should be fine, can't make it until 8:30 myself, the ticketmaster website lists it as starting then but I'd imagine it'll be a little bit later based on previous gigs
