Well what can I say? I'll let you into a secret, we did summat stupid. There are 2 venues in Wolverhampton, we got mixed up. We were picking up the tickets nosite so no clue there. The thing that confused us is that the venue it was actually in a concert hall that usually doesn't have seats and when I ordered the tickets by phone, they mentioned we were 27 rows back. We'd both been too busy to check up. Anyway We realised our mistake and ran away from the theatre showing an Agatha Crustie play. It looked interesting though. Got to the proper venue. How we laughed, imagine us sitting there shouting in Bollo like tones 'I've got a bad feeling about this' As someone is horribly murdered. Arriving at the venue proper we were told we had 2 minutes til curtain up so we didn't get a beer. Students milled around annoyingly for about 10 minutes talking to their chums. Eventually things settled down and WOW what an absulutely awesome show. Howard and Vince came out in front of the curtain and weree incrediblty funny. They were introducing all the cast, Nabu, Boolo and Bob Fossil shouted through a megaphone from near us and ran up and clambered on to the stage and still shouted throught the megaphone. after all this the story began. Odd, but ancient beings go thorough a ritual with a large ruby. Howard and Vince work in Nabu's nick nack shop, an archaeologist brings in a mysterious bax and orders them not to look in it. Only Nabu can open it. Vince goes to Topshop (there's a sale) Howard goes stocktaking in the cellar. The box mysteriously glows and opens in a cloud of mist. Out come the Cockneys! Solo Polo is ripe for mischief. He knifes Nabu! The only way to save him is with an ancient ruby which may be in Spain or the arctic Tundra...... Shan't spoil the rest, it'll be onDVD before long. Just to say if you like the Boosh, you'll love it. Surprises all over the placeand EVERYONE from the show including the MOON (hurrah). It's just got improv and things they couldn't do on the telly. Bliss
Sounds like a good night. Thanks for not spoiling it - got a friend who's going soon and she'll try to tell me the whole plot. So I may have to kill her!!
