Four hours? Blimey, and the rest...! We went to see him at the Buxton Opera House and were warned that he 'could go on a bit'. I'd heard stories of finishing at midnight. Well, it began at 7.30 and there was no interval till 10.30pm!! Given that we'd all been in the pub beforehand and glancing around and making a rough guess at the average age of the audience, this was truly testing ageing bladders to the limit! We were in the front row moreover and kept catching his eye. I laughed so much in those three hours (crazy but true - apart from when the Diddy Men and the local 'talent' came on which was truly excruciating. I've never seen or heard anything so bad. Kids in high heels that were 5 sizes too big trying to speak in a French accent as members of the wartime resistance actually sounding like Nazi sympathisers. All very unfortunate) that I was knackered. We decided to cut our losses and head for a curry. Thank God for it - apparently he ended at 1.00am and given that most people had travelled an hour to get there...well, there must have been some very tired pensioners around Ashton-under-Lyme the next day!Carah Bodenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429666157453439321noreply@blogger.com
