I only wish I had read the other reviews before going!  It started off not too bad with Ricky's stories of his life but really went downhill when the comedians came on - what an absolute load of rubbish.  After the interval hoped that things couldn't get any worse.  Obviously not everybody had the same hope - there were a lot more empty seats for part 2.  What can I say about Black Onyx!  Their bit was totally outdated and cringeworthy.  Their comment was something along the lines of 'we are going to fit 10 minutes of great entertainment into 30 minutes haha' - more like we had a total of 10 minutes of entertainment in 3 very long hours! People were starting to leave throughout their act, we unfortunately endured the whole thing and were horrified to hear they were doing an encore.  Can anyone please tell me what is funny about someone dressed as a builder (?!!) producing a false leg and attempting to do Riverdance like a dad at a wedding??  The funniest thing was the guy playing his drum machine failed to notice it wasnt switched on anymore when he was playing it! A very disappointing night out.All Ricky was interested in was plugging the programme and his book.  The biggest laugh we had was in the car on the way home re-living  the low-lights of the show!!
