There is a whole series of these sunday shows but when they were first announced and I looked the prices were very high. Hoping one or two might do offers but apparently the Judi Dench one is sold out

I went to one of these “evening with” things once - and never, ever will again. I was at the Hannah Waddingham one at the Delfont Rooms many years back and it was ghastly. All the simpering, mincing smugness of the theatre “set” juxtaposed by the awkward, outsider fans who had actually paid to be there.
Absolutely cringeworthy. Alexander Hanson (who I love) did some Sinatra song, like your drunk Grandad doing karaoke. Can you imagine what one with CHF would be like?
A fantastic opportunity to pay to be closer than usual to your favourite “star”. A step up from following them from the stage door into the pub on a Saturday night - but only just.
No thanks.

Sounds fascinating! I saw Jenna Russell recently in a similar type of set up. There wasn't too much smugness I don't think. Just a good ol' laugh, but with Seth Rudetsky hosting it's a bit less grandoise I guess...

I think I went to that one, I recall it being a very jolly time had by all. And I think if one is going to be smug, being mincing about it is the only way forward. |
