My wife and I have been looking forwards to this. Sadly, it did not match up to previous comedy shows or even the past performances of Dylan Moran. At best I would describe this as the ramblings of a previously articulate drunk interspersed with great insights which would have been better for the heckling. But some of his responses to heckling were the funnier parts of the show. We did like bits of it, but both agreed that we were expecting a lot better. While he says that he was boring sober, I would have loved to have seen him perform sober as I suspect the show would have been better had he done so. While I get ready for sleep, we are watching some of this past performances on YouTube to reassure ourselves that he was funnier in the past. Ultimately, the attitude of Dylan Moran is that I doubt he cares for the opinions of those who felt he could be better as many did love him. I could have a go at the worse hecklers for moving seats to be closer to us, but I had taken us to the wrong seats earlier and we had to move to the correct ones before the show started. Oops!
Our son looked after Leia while my daughter continued to revise for her seven exams this coming week. We had offered to take both out to lunch, but he opted to stay at home while my daughter accompanied us to The Whalebone. We enjoyed our meal, though my wife and I felt that more seasoning would have improved our main courses. My daughter did feel too full to finish her dessert, which was great as I got to finish it for her! We helped her revise by testing her on questions that she asked but I ended up in a slight disagreement over Colour Constancy. I said A and B are the same colour below, she disagreed. To be fair, in her exercise book, they were not, but if you zoom in on this image and crop the squares, they are.
