The Pleasures of The Everyman Theatre, Cheltenham and Ross Noble

Let's just say that after such an excruciatingly long wait for Darrell and Nigel to finally see one of their most favourite comedians of choice again, it was very well worth it.


Obviously the taking of photos was strictly prohibited, so on this occassion, just a quick, sneaky shot of the empty but weird stage setting is all we can bring you, but the show was silly, surreal and the flow seemingly unconnected, as you would expect. At times they had to really concentrate to keep up with the eccentric, rambling pace but then, that's Ross Noble! They said they ached from laughing when they came out, which did them both the power of good, although, as per usual, neither could remember a single "joke"! 


They had also never been to the Everyman Theatre before .........


....... but they had to agree that it has to be one of the most romantic theatres they have ever visited .......


...... with its bespoke carpets and wallpaper, fine art paintings, gold paintwork embellishing everything to an inch of its life, not to mention all the cherubs perched absolutely everywhere
and with Darrell's huge penchant for a quality, crystal chandelier, Nigel swears he saw the big, old, softy wipe away a tear or two, such was the emotion of seeing such a wonderful display of sparking glass droplets, surrounded by even more gold, blue skies and birds in flight ........  

What on earth is he like?

A great night for you all! I hope you sides didn't ache the following morning. The theatre looks amazing, too.

The best theatre I have been in, is the opera house in Manaus, Brazil. It was built by the rubber barons and it is very posh. They only have performances one week a year, as far as I remember, so I had to make do with a tour.

A photo I found online:
