Didn't want to inflict me flu on yiz

Was about to post my tix on here but a friend nabbed them. Have fun, and reports please

PomBear

to be honest, I had fun but I expected a bit more, very low profile guests, no prizes and the stand for four hours, also the making of canned applause turned me off a bit

Low profile guests on an RTE show, why I've never heard the like.

Did Maria sing, or was she just on for a natter?

Love her voice.

Thought it was just OK, not enough of Tommy and Hector being themselves really, the game was a giggle, the music acts were all excellent, and very diverse.... Thought the guests were average, I cant stand Paul Galvin, Maria Doyle Kennedy was good, the class mates was just dreadful, group of middle aged men remenicing about their schooldays, jokes that no one else really would get,, and Kevin Myres was too serious a guest and he is a pompous tit......

Interesting to see what it will be like on the TV, my first time to attend a recording of a tv programme, the retakes for tech issues can be boring.
I think the concept of the programme is good though and would make a good series as they got used to presenting TV together......

Really enjoyed it but, but did expected a little bit more!!
It was real interesting to see the work put into recording a TV show, and it's going to be interesting to see what makes the final cut out of the 2 hours or material or how exactly they're going to do it.
As for the guests, I felt they coulda picked a few better people, ie, people who were a bit more "craic" as the name of the show kinda suggested!!!
Thought Paul Galvin was fierce boring and Kevin Myers was awful irritating.
Thought the music guests were..very ..uh, diverse..Maria Doyle sounded great, wasn't too keen on the first singer, it was kinda a sean nós kinda song, and the band at the end were just mental, but v funny
Loved Tommys little comments off the camera ..biggest disappointment was half expecting to see the hardy bucks showing up! They had little clips throughout the show and was thinking it'd be a bitta craic for them to appear at the end as the last guests..but..no, we got Kevin Myers instead.. hurrah!

'Twas a free gig, so I'm not complaining.

If I had to assess, loved the first singer, Maria whats-it was ok, and the last lads were just headbangers. Kevin Myers needed to be baited on more argumentative stuff, the school mates were tired and sounded it. And the warm-up guy (can't remember his name, an Aussie) was dreadful and should get himself a day job in Mt Isa.

But overall excellent value for money (even at 4.30 for a pint of Guinness!), and I'll be fascinated to see what bits make the cut.

LOL, bit harsh there.

That Aussie guy ye're on about - that's the fella from Naked Camera, right? He's an awful sound fecker and any time i've seen him live (he was at the Roisin a few times) i've gotten a few laughs out of him

Ha. Ya caught me. I was just doing that.
It made me wonder if I might actually know who you are though. Hmmm.
I won't voice it here.

Anyway you don't sound like an Aussie. You are obviously just voraciously defensive of their comedic exports .

You'll also probably be banned if ya don't edit your initial post. Go on...be nice to Mary.

Thank you for sharing your unique and special opinion, we're all greatly enriched by it.

I'll be sure to tell Mr Just of your thoughts: personally I didn't find warm-up-guy (interesting that none of us can remember his name) that bad, even though some of his jokes clearly didn't work with the crowd. Mr Just, OTOH, disliked him very strongly.

Maybe it was just the crowd? In fairness Mary he's not the worst bloke in the world. I'd rate him top-class compared to some of the idiots i've had to listen to (and pay to) at the Roisin Dubh on Wednesday nights

Who was the warm up guy? I know you said he's Aussie, but is he based in Galway?

Surely Tim Minchin (sp?) wasn't the 'warm up' act for Tommy and Hector??

I can't believe this is still being talked about.

It thought it was pretty awful to be honest.
