Steve Coogan Live Just got back from seeing him at City Hall, and personally I thought the majority of it was awesome, very clever some of the sketches Seen GeordieLee there although he was down the front and I was stuck at the back so didnt get to sat hi Thoughts of anyone who went?
Aye, thought it was pretty damn good. Wish the Mighty Boosh had been on at the City Hall, much better venue than the Arena.
I went on Friday and thought it was alright. I wasn't expecting much since reviews and other people reckoned it was shite. My main criticism was all the song and dance shit; it was a bit cabaret for my liking. The first half was hot and cold but the Partridge bit was a lot funnier. I know people who went last night and left at the interval - fail, they missed the best bit. Never worth the price like.
I went on both nights and thought it was awesome. I totally disagree with the negative comments towards the singing and dancing. The singing and dancing have been a staple of his stand up since the mid-nineties. My only slight criticism would be that it was essentially The Man Who Thinks He's It (his 1996 tour) Part 2, but with Saxondale in for Ferrino, so if you'd seen that show it all felt slightly familiar. Still that's a minor criticism, the man is a genius and I feel absolutely privileged to have seen him live. Anyone who left at the interval obviously wasn't a proper Coogan fan and only there for Partridge.
i really wanted to go but had work xmas party same night and richard off to hawkwind. £35 per ticket is a bit steep but he is still my hero. Ah-haaaa
