How was it? Enjoy? It looks like I'm taking my daughter and her friend tomorrow.

I went last night and I thought it was brilliant. I've seen them live before but I think they were better this time. I was laughing all the way through!

i went on monday - front row centre :) very much enjoyed it!
but a colleague went on tuesday and didn't like it. not everyone's cup of tea i guess

I was second row. It was almost too close after one of Howard's costume changes!

i'm going tonight and wondered if you're allowed to take cameras??

We weren't when I went (in Buxton).

People in front of me almost got chucked out. They were virtually filming the whole thing though...

It was confusing really. The security at the beginning told a few people around me that flash photography wasn't allowed. But then they were asking people not to take pictures at all. A few people were sneakily taking some though. Especially on their mobile phones.

I saw security asking people to stop taking pictures.

All in all a very good show. I laughed alot. Bob Fossil was just brilliant. There were a couple of bits when I wanted them to actually get on with it instead of waiting for the crowd to continuously clap and cheer..... Dunno. It was very good though!

Yeah it was great the other night.

Id say more what I liked about it but I don't want to spoil it for people who haven't been yet.

I wouldn't risk taking pics etc you will get thrown out. They seem pretty strict on that.

Thanks, just wondered :)

Were you the bloke in the Cramps t-shirt and baseball cap?

That's me mate yeah.

I was the bloke sat bang in front of you then, who Howard asked my name then said he wasnt interested. Could have nicked one of his elbow patches as well, but the missus threw it back up

ah howard used that same joke tonight with someone! was an amazingly entertaining show - and they responded well to the hecklers - very witty!

mucho impressed and glad i saw them in such a small venue :)

Haha! He lost it twice didn't he? Did you not find that sitting so close to the front was a bit horrible when Howard changed into THAT costume?

I really love the Boosh but it doesn't work live at all.

Gives us a chance to see them in the flesh - good for a bit of hero worship but that's all.

He was fairly well covered up. The view of noels saggy blue pants under his skirt thing wasnt too pleasant though

I'm a bit dubious of this heckler...... It wasn't when Tony Harrison was on was it????

P.L.A.N.T.

Only my friends said this heckler said the exact same thing on their night....:rolleyes:

My mates going tonight - should be good. Although in real life they're an unfriendly bunch.

there were a few different hecklers, so not sure if one was the same as yours. hope it wasnt a plant!

I went last night and I agree with Warden - it's hero worship - when people turn up to a show dressed at the characters it's always a warning sign!

The bloke next to me was singing along with all the songs, got really giddy when his favourites came on (the crack fox was rubbish - sorry man-who-plays-Howard, I know it was there otherwise you'd not have had any characters, but it was rubbish) THe OH said the bloke next to me was like a 14 year old girl stuck in a mans body the way he got so excited.

Seeing people doing funny dances at Bob Fossils request in their Boosh t-shirts with Boosh bags, dressed up as the Hitcher made me think of this sketch (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJSlRyQfho4)

An enjoyable night - but not hilariously funny, nor musically interesting (the musical encore was unnecessary, although the bloke next to me, inevitably, was very excited by it) Fun, but not worthy of the devotion it inspires, in my opinion.

Have foisted this off onto my husband and he's taking them now. :D

There's a doctor at the NGH (won't name him) who thorughly reminds me of dixon bainbridge :hihi:

What a pile of crap! I am a mighty boosh fan, but ill stick to the dvds. It was very unfunny, the best bit about it was bollo. For once, i didnt get it! It was a few men just being 'silly' and not really worth the £25 quid. Was like watching a interesting documentary. They did the bouncy bouncy song, which was good.

Maybe I was expecting something else. God knows.

My favourite bit was the second half. The song that Howard was singing was hilarious.

I agree - once you've broken the frame it's rubbish :)

The bits where it was just Noel and Julian talking were the funniest - the scripted bits weren't.

I can't beleive this. We went on Wednesday & the heckler was in the middle of Tony Harrison. I thought he dealt with it brilliantly. Can't believe it was pre prepared!!

I loved it - thought they were brill. I thought some of the audience were a bit giddy though-it was like going to see a panto with the kids in parts. The OH wasn't too impressed though & thought they were better on TV.

I must admit .. have not seen much of them but love the one where they are on the deserted island and have coconut friends ... Heh ...

I got a call from a friend last night to tell me they had a spare ticket - someone who was meant to be going with them couldn't make it.
They said I could just give them a tenner for it, I think that's a fair price. If I'd actually paid full price for a ticket I would have felt a little ripped off. I have enjoyed the TV show and have the DVD of the 1st live show, so of course jumped at the chance to see them in person, and it was good, but not £25 good. I saw Bill Bailey at the arena and paid £20 odd for that, and apart from the venue being a bit echoey and distant it was worth it.
Mind you it's early days for the tour, I expect they'll warm up a bit more as it goes on.

I will admit the show was not as funny as their live DVD from their previous tour. Also the cult its created is abit annoying alot young teenage fans and adults thinking they are teenagers.

Aside from that it was a good night out tuesday worth the money in my opinion. Will be interesting to see what kind of show they will be able to put on at the Arena.
