At the moment the only must-see that is languishing on the benches is Robin Ince, and to an extent I just have to go a show of his before and show after and I will be, quite literally, laughing.
Query/top tip: Stewart Lee ends his show in The Stand five minutes before Adam Hills starts his in the Assembly, am I right in thinking that's doable? I don't remember all the geography.
I think that's pushing it slightly, in terms of getting out of The Stand if it's a few minutes over, I wouldn't risk it. But then I am always scared of arriving late and having to miss things when they won't let latecomers in. (Google maps claims 8 minutes, which is a bit generous, but still.) How do you feel about making a late entrance?
I do find it less easy to muster up sympathy for someone who can see most people in the city in which he lives ANYWAY. Though I must [...]
AH HA! I just went to check a Lancaster theatre website to see if I could justifiably claim that all we get are Roy Chubby Brown and Jim Davidson (yes, in the same month, sandwiching Pam Ayres...) and Adam Hills is very kindly coming to Lancaster in November! Wil Hodgson it is. And maybe more days anyway.
I am okay with entering late to Adam Hills, as I imagine he'll be in the enormohall with the three tiers of seats and will hardly notice me. I missed Hils Barker (I think) last year because I stayed right to the end of Andrew O'Neill's free show (because he was telling that story about being in a fight) and she was in the tiny tiny broom closet at the top of the Teviot where the door opens onto the stage.
Thank you for the sympathy, and the effort behind it!
