CityLife

I could not agree more with the last review it is the only honest one I have seen on the web, I went with my sister brother in law my husband and our son and his friend our ages range from 64 to 20 we all felt he was well below par, none of us belly laughed some smiling and a snigger here and there but if felt more like a history lesson ! sorry to say that my husband dropped off to sleep and he was not the 64 year old.The woman in the row behind us wearing a very sparkly top announced she had just booked tickets for strictly belly laughed at everything Eddie said even Hello ! but even she could not manage to keep my husband awake.<br />

Let me first say, I love Eddie, the man is an absolute genius. I have all his DVDs.<br /> <br /> But the City Life review was not wholly on the money I feel. This was a good show, but by no means an Eddie classic.<br /> <br /> Some sketches were padded out way too long. For example the jazz chicken was genius, so to the diary writing octopus. But these characters were referred to dozens of time through the show, as if he needed to return to them for the laugh.<br /> <br /> The ending was odd as well; the moon landing bit which when he came out and announced it I sat back looking forward to it after all the end/encire is usally when the classic coup de grace is delivered. Remember Death Star Canteen and the Star Trek (phasers, widdly wee) all were delivered at the end of the show.<br /> <br /> This one though was short and really didnt get going, save to bring in again the jazz chicken et al.<br /> <br /> Me teenage daughter summed it up and she also is an Eddie fan; she said she laughed, but wasnt bent double in stitches like usual.<br /> <br /> However Eddie will return, he is a comedy god!<br />
