Later with Jools Holland

After waiting three years to get to the top of the waiting list, we finally got to see Jools again. This was an interesting show: the audience was much smaller, and so we were lucky enough to get right to the front of the podium behind Acoustic Ladyland. Other acts included New Order, The Coral, Rufus Wainwright, Faith Evans, James Blunt and Son of Dave. The latter was a fantastic blues harmonica player who used a range of effects pedals to create a backing track for himself with short loops and samples. Astounding.

Dave Spikey

We first saw Dave Spikey as part of an audience of less than 100 people in Cambridge. This was his first time playing in the West End (on the Phantom of the Opera stage no less!) and the show was a hoot. We took Alice's mum and dad as part of her mum's birthday present: I think she enjoyed it as much as we did.

Roehampton Summer Ball (Razorlight)

Alice works at Roehampton and managed to get discounted tickets to their summer ball through the staff association. Although we didn't stay for the whole night - and spent the majority of our time in the staff room with a jazz band and free wine - we at least ventured out to see Razorlight play. They weren't anything special, though, to be honest...

Armando Iannucci's Charm Offensive

Alice's family are huge fans of Armando's stuff, and so we decided to go along to this first recording of his new series. Guests were Clive Anderson, Phil Jupitus and someone I'd never heard of. Still, it was a truly great show and well worth the no money we paid for yet another BBC audience ticket. These really are the best secrets in London.

The Jim Davidson Guide to Equality

No, not Jim Davidson, but rather Laurence Clark - a wheelchair user whose hilarious show was aimed at basically taking the piss out of Jim for being a fascist. Long overdue, and a great show.

Surrey CFA Saturday Senior Cup Final

You might call us glory supporters, but once the new season begins we'll endeavour to prove you wrong. Our local team, AFC Wimbledon won this cup final in extra time at an incredibly tense (and capacity filled) Woking Stadium. Only the best for us!
