What comedy/band/person/play/performance/whatever do you want to see?

there's this band playing in Exeter tomorrow night
I hear they are pretty good and that the guitarist is a smokin' hottie...

they were a kind of tone-deaf Bronski Beat tribute act, and that their banjo player was a gurning helmet.

I've never listened to your stuff and don't think I should since we post on the same board and I'm stupidly opinionated about music.

so am I
I find it hard to judge our stuff.

people tell me it is good, but I generally suspect they are lying to make me feel better.

edit: this just in. one of mates says he should have saved his £5 from buying our CD and bought crack instead.

Adam Green in a couple of weeks' time
But I just dunno, I'll probably have to miss the end to get the train home, and there's a smoking ban on, the credit's crunching and it's cold out. And the last time I was in that venue, my drink got spiked with something scarily trippy.
(Fancy a weekend on my Raymondo Luxury Yacht?, Thu 21 Jan 2010, 16:00, Reply)

yikes, best not drink then

( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 21 Jan 2010, 16:04, Reply)

that's good advice in this venue anyway
£3 for a plastic cup of warm Carling

It's all academic anyway. I probably wont go. I've been to a whole three gigs since the smoking ban was introduced. Two of them were ruined by lack of tobacco. The enjoyable one was at the Luminaire in London where it's easy to get out for a cig. That's my kind of venue. Nothing like it in Brum.

was even worse than the lies
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 21 Jan 2010, 16:31, Reply)

I cannot bring myself to read fucking word, any more
I look at the length of the post, if it's suitably long I then scan briefly for wanking/fisting references, if there are any, scroll down to see the name at the end then move on feeling slightly soiled...
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Thu 21 Jan 2010, 16:47, Reply)

I still read the stuff for some reason
gets worse with every post.

I got the first post again. mainly a good thing because it stopped someone else getting it.

I like my story. even though I was a daft cunt in it.

and that I wanted to go see bands I actually like.

Problem is no one else listens to what I listen to.

we were asked if we wanted to watch a monkey have sex with a midget in a suitcase, we managed to say no after heckling the bloke for about 20 minutes

male midget, female monkey?
or vice versa?

or was it some gay monkey-midget action?

don't tell me you don't know, that would make all the difference to your decision.

eventually that it was a male monkey and a female midget, but we left because it wasn't a samsonite, i'm sick, but not a total fucking weirdo

I'd like to see Les Miserables properly done, I've only ever seen school productions.
Comedians - John Bishop, Ross Noble, Jason Rouse, Billy Connolly, Dylan Moran, and I'm sure many others too (Just not Lee Evans)
Bands - Chimaira, Behemoth, Suffocation, Carcass & Cannibal Corpse (By the end of the year I intend on seeing 4 of these)
