Alan Partridge live


I saw him a few years ago and was massively disappointed. Big fan of all his tv stuff and earlier live stuff (via dvd) but it really was poor.

I'm not sure if it was him or the venue. Don't think I've ever seen a decent comedy act at an arena. Wouldn't see any comedian at a large venue again, part of why live comedy works is the intemacy.

From 2010-2012 he released Mid Morning Matters, I, Partridge and Places of My Life. Those 3 are up there with the very best Partridge imo.

He got a bit too daft again after that - Alpha Papa wasn't great, Scissored Isle was funny in parts but a bit naff and MMM S2 nowhere near as good as S1. And This Time was ok but a very slow burner.
 
Seeing Partridge at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool May 17th. Pissed myself laughing at his 1999 live show, but the next one was not as good. Still an enjoyable night out though. This Time was disappointing overall, but all his previous work was superlative imo. I'll be hoping Strategem restores the faith.
 
Got front row tickets for Leeds next month. Might actually be looking to pass them on at cost price as I can’t even afford the train fare down never mind hotel and everything that goes with it.

Give me a shout mate, if you decide not to go I’d be up for front row like.
 
Never understood people going to the arena to see stand up ,if your not in the first 20 rows you end up watching the big screen no matter how hard you try not to ,so wait till xmas and just buy the live dvd.
