Comic Aid

Although this show sold out within 3 minutes, I was fortunate enough to give 8Purple something to get on with while I frantically refreshed TicketMaster to get tickets. The show itself was great (and is now available on DVD) and, while we appeared to be the only ones who knew who the hell Dave Spikey was, didn't let the side down. Lee Evans made an appearance having already played in the Producers, and Graham Norton filmed a link from about 10feet away from us. Oh! The fame!

The Producers

This was our Valentine's preesent to ourselves...although I must admit it was more me convincing Alice that it'd be good to go to. We were lucky enough to see the show while Lee Evans was still playing Leo Bloom, and he didn't disappoint.

The History Boys

I loved this play. I left feeling confused about my job. I loved this play. Starring the fat guy from Pie in the Sky, it's Alan Bennett's new play about a bunch of boys trying to get into Oxbridge to study history. So, kidn of what I did and what I now try to get others to do. Sheer brilliance.

Turandot

£15! FIFTEEN POUNDS! Only £15 to see a "real" opera at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden. We went with Alice's parents, and I was personally blown away by the sheer class of the production, even if my neck was stiff for a week afterwards from the awkward view.

Eddie Izzard's Late Night Cabaret

This was a bit of a weird one: weird to get tickets for and weird to see. Although it was a BBC radio recording, tickets were got through Ticketweb for the price of just under £6. The show itself was a cabaret (as the name would suggest), hosted by Eddie Izzard (as the name would suggest), adn featuring a load of fantastic acts. The ones that stand out for no other reason than they're Dead Famous were Pete Townsend and that blonde Texan who used to be married to Mick Jagger. I got Pete's autogaph and plectrum, and we also got Eddie's. Cool!
