Fair do, MISS Reviewer (can't you read Nigel?) did point out that a lot of the material wasn't new. You also seem to have invented the reviewer's use of the word 'genius', which she did not use. She described his playful sense of cynicism as his "star quality". And that seems fair to me. You clearly read this review with your own agenda in mind, expecting the reviewer to call him a genius.

I was at the show and thought his performance was pretty funny, although the Q&A was admittedly very poor (which the reviewer didn't mention) - mainly because the audience couldn't think of any decent questions, though. A good show, I thought, and a fair representation of Frankie's comic style and subject matter. It was just, as the reviewer said, a shame there wasn't more original content.

it was not my good self that invented the word genius, but it was evolved over the many centuries of time , most probably with it originating from some latin word. yes it was a review to my own agenda a.k.a. my own opinion.

maybe mr/mrs/miss/ms(please delete as necessary)boyle should have informed his audience well in advance that it was to be a Q&A session so that the calibre of input from an audience that was clearly expecting frankie ,without any help from his fans,to be able to fill a suitable ammount of time with his views of life, could have been up to scratch.

the original review was more like a transcript of his short set , albeit from the plentiful "whats your story,man" or the paddingly ,copious sips of water.unless reviewing person actually broke the one of the many golden rules about copyright issues and loo breaks that were rammed down our throats from entering the lowry to the inclusion of the 11th,12th and 13th commandments ,as laid down by frankie ,in that lovely,warm-hearted warm-up mans set more than once. i now fully understand why he was so desperate for any recordings of this show not to exist..... or did the MEN reviewer perform a cardinal sin to all and record segments for reference late?

will keep to watching MTW on dave tv in future methinks....
