On Friday we went to see Ed Byrne's stand-up show in Aylesbury (at the civic centre). This is about a 30-35 minute drive away from home, and when I bought the tickets a few months ago I was a little concerned that it was pretty close to the due date of our baby, luckily he/she didn't decide to pop out to say hello earlier than expected.
The ticket said the show started at 9 (doors at 8) which I thought was surprisingly late for Aylesbury, not sure of the reasoning behind that, probably just because it wasn't London.
Anyway, in a move that is totally unlike me, I decided that we should leave with plenty of time to get there, so we weren't late. We found the place at 8:15, which, I thought, would give us plenty of time to get some good seats (it was unreserved) and use the toilet/get a drink etc. It turned out, however, that our tickets were wrong and the show actually started at 8, so we basically missed the first 10-15 minutes, very annoying. It obviously wasn't all tickets either, as the place was basically full.
With regards to the show, he was very funny, Tina particularly laughing when he was talking about weddings and wedding preperation, and the whole thing lasted about 2 hours, which meant the missing 10-15 minutes wasn't so bad.
The next show at that place was the Lady Boys from Bangkok, I'm not sure that is my kind of show to be honest so I won't be attending.
Also, another thing that made me laugh was, on the way home, we passed a crash that had just happened (well, the police arrived at the same time as we did), and then about 20 metres down the road from the crash was a sign saying "thankyou for driving carefully"...teehee
mickle: great; large; much.
