    Stalls are the best seats - ground floor flats!

    Upper circle are terrible - if he hits the front of the stage you will not be able to see him anymore!

    If you are any taller than 5 foot, then stay away from the first 6-7 rows of the circle or upper circle! There is literally NO leg room, got 2nd row seats in the circle for a gig and ended up moving back to the 10th row just to have some comfort..

    Excellent show I thought, no surprises but you know what you are going to get with Frankie. It's like he has a checklist of people he has to abuse, and in the worst possible way.

    Yes, support was a Canadian guy named Craig Campbell. Very funny guy.

    Support was on-stage shortly after 8pm, did about 20-25 minutes. 10-15 minute break then Frankie came on and did about 80 minutes. Was over at about 10pm.

    Boyle was excellent last night, he doesn't care what he says :D

    I didn't think his Michael Jackson joke/routine was that funny to be honest.

    The support act I wasn't to keen on, he is one of those comedians who shouts a lot and people laugh at.

    Anyway great gig overall though

    I went on the Monday night and thought both acts were very good. I do get annoyed by the vast amount of people getting up to go to the toilet, could they not hold it in for the 80 mins or so that he was on stage, it was very very frustrating and showed a lack of respect for Frankie.

    The thing that pi**ed me off was the rule "if you leave your seats during Frankie's routine to go to the toilet you wont be let back to your seat".
    I wasn't told of that rule before the show and I seen one man getting bounced out through the exit by the security,
    Surly they cant charge you for seats and then deny you the use of them?
    They should at least tell you the "rule" at the time of purchase and not after you walk through the door.

    I thought it was the seats being way to close together that was a pain in the hole not the people that paid to use them, by the end of Frankies routine me and hundreds of other people had a pain in our m!ckey's Literally
