Some of us have tickets for the sold out, smaller, more intimate event a few nights before

However, am considering going to this as well. Exciting!

 

[sadluxation]

So am I. I only wish I could spell celebration...

Will be there for the one on the 18th. Front row!

(Hopes there is no audience participation required. This isn't panto, is it?)

 

[Big Green Skeptic]

I'll be there on the 19th somewhere near the back looking foward to it
It's looking like it will be a good show

 

[edd]

There on the 19th too!

 

[Big Green Skeptic]

There on the 19th too!

Yes one on both the 18th & 19th which are both sold out and one on the 21st which I think is going on sale today

Went to the show last night (19th) and it was great. So many acts, all good. Phil Jupitus also appeared, but highlights were Ricky Gervais trying out some new stand-up material for a tour he's planning next year, and of course Richard Dawkins, who read his "Gerinoil" article and from Unweaving The Rainbow.

I went to the 18th and am going again on Sunday. It was awesome, I am going to write a review for Skepchick which I will post here on Monday.
