review - 'Alan Carr: Spexy Beast tour'

This was the 2nd time I have seen Alan Carr live. Last time it was in a smaller location, so just goes to show how much bigger and popular he is now.

Be warned... his voice is A LOT more high pitched in person... but you start to find it more funny than irritating as the show goes on.

He does alot of moving around the stage, so if you are near the front, don't worry, you'll see him. If you don't have great seats, again don't worry, as he has a massive screen either side of him and one in the middle... so you'll see everything.

He does a lot of funny facial expressions so be sure to watch the screens for close ups.

He is VERY funny. Talks about everyday life, his own life and also slips in some jokes about celebs.

Also - During his show he went and wiped his face with a personalised towel. A woman then ran down to near the stage and asked him for the towel and he gave it to her. So if you are near the front or in a place where you can get to the stage ok, i'd suggest trying to do the same

Remember to take your own food and drink, don't let yourself be conned into paying high prices for a bottle of coke or pack of crisps, when you can get them for half the price before going in.

I quite like him, though I dunno about seeing a whole live show - how long does it last? cause his voice would probably start to get on my nerves after a while lol... Chatty Man is quite funny though!

Shows last diff amount of times. I'd say his lasted approx two-hours (including a break inbetween)

I also thought the same as you, about his voice being annoying, and at first it is annoying... but then you just kind of forget and laugh... it's all good.

Just bought tickets to see John Bishop and Jimmy Carr. Also going to see a comedian called Milton Jones in a few Weeks. I have high expectations from him

Thats not too bad oh John Bishop is quite good, though I wouldn't wanna see Jimmy Carr - he goes a bit too far! my parents went to see Milton Jones during the Edinburgh festival I think (or maybe earlier in the year? I don't remember exactly), I thought I didn't find him very funny but afterwards they said they really enjoyed his set (his warm up guy was painfully unfunny though, if I recall right! it'll prob. be someone different at your show though, think they vary depending on the venue?). I wish I'd gone now, I've seen him on Mock The Week and he is very funny!.

Jimmy Carr ain't THAT BAD to be honest. He kinda simmers it down to what he's like on TV. I love the way he deals with hecklers.

I can't fricken wait for Milton Jones. If he's owt like what I see on Mock The Week, i'm going to be crying with laughter (which only Lee Evans has been able to do so far)

The Edinburgh Festival... is that the Fringe thing they do every year?? I've alway wanted to go to that as it sound exactly like something i'd LOVE!!!

The Fringe is the very start of the Edinburgh Festival - ie its like the fringe of someones haircut, right at the front lol...I think the Fringe lasts 2 weeks or so and then the full blown festival gets underway for another 3-4 weeks, something like that. There's loads of comedy shows - I didn't go to a show this year as there weren't many that particularly appealed to me/my family, apart from Sarah Millican but her show didn't start until 11pm which was too late, maybe if it ended around then we might have gone...

Ohhhhh right, I gotcha. Yeah, recks i'd just go for the Fringe part of the Festival then. More into the comedy side of things.

I am going to see Sarah Millican next year. Going to see her in Newcastle... which should be good fun considering that's where she is from

She's actually doing about 8 dates there as she's been quite popular and selling out.

Newcastle LOVE a fellow Geordie

Sounds good - I like her when she's on 8 out of 10 cats and does the voice over on that BBC1 comedy documentary with the wildlife (can't remember the name of that show off the top of my head - the wild side of life or some such?).
