    What time did they start and finish up last night folks? Heading up tonight but driving back down after.

    Started at 20:57 and ended around 22:40.

    Was it just longer of the Bob's burger guy? I didn't find him particularly funny.

    Does anyone else think €78 was a bit expensive for tickets? Last gig I went to in the Point was less than 60 and more bang for buck.

    Enjoyed the night out but found it a bit underwhelming for what it was. Better the last time I saw them, in the Olympia I think.

    Yeah for something like FOTC that's so vitally important that you can hear the words clearly, a large arena like that isn't great

    We somehow got lucky and got the cheap €28 tickets. View was fine, but the sound was far too quiet.

    They seemed to be about 5% of the seats though. Think €78+ is a bit steep.

    I thought it was totally worth the money, the sound in the flat seating was perfect and I smiled from the moment David O'Doherty came on until the moment FOTC got off stage. I was totally whelmed. :)

    Gotta agree with this. Loved the gig, but missed some of the lines due to crowd noise. Would have preferred FOTC to be louder so I could hear them better. I had though it was just me getting old! :)

    Was expecting great things for this gig and my expectations were surpassed, they were brilliant. Had me in stitches from beginning to end.
    Some observations though:

    - Eugene Mirman really split the crowd. Some were laughing their heads off, most were unfortunately stonefaced throughout.

    - I've never seen a busier merchandise stand. They must have cleaned up.

    - People's inability to not take a pîss for the show was embarrassing. The amount of people who left towards the end of Bowie for the toilet was ridiculous. The desire of some people to get so loaded at a fully seated gig and need multiple toilet breaks was infuriating.

    - No matter how much you ask people not to take photos or record gigs, Irish people won't stop and are determined to take shîtty quality pics or videos.

    -FOTC old material was an absolute treat and seeing it live was a pleasure.

    -FOTC new material was brilliant and their 'anecdotes' were hysterical. Their stage presence is brilliant despite their softly spoken nature.The self deprecation is as brilliant as it ever was.

    -I did think it was an incredible show but they are definitely more suited to a venue like the Olympia where I last saw them. I've been to so many comedy gigs in the 3Arena and very rarely have they suited the venue.

    Overall, cracking show. Delighted that I was able to go.

    YES, this really grated with me too. come on lads and lassies, surely you can hold it in for the duration of the show.

    other than that though, i really enjoyed it. DOD was very good, thought bobs burger guy had his moments too.

    Yet again, it seems that pissheads ruin a gig for people.
