Event Venue: Middlesbrough Town Hall

'The show all comics dream of. Middlesbrough Town Hall on a Friday night!' were the words of Rob Brydon as he walked on to loud, lengthy applause, whistling and cheering of his 1100+ crowd. It sounds like a normal show, but when you think it is actually a leap. Brydon has toured but not as himself. Sure there were Uncle Bryn and Keith Barret moments but overall the show was Brydon as Brydon. I should make a mention of his support act Hal Cruttenden, whose comedy was warm and giggly to start the gig. Brydon told the crowd his story of the birth of his fourth child with quite graphic detail and one of his highlights are his impressions. Ronnie Corbett stuck in a sandpit, Anthony Hopkins working on CBeebies, Al Pacino and Shaking Stevens. He ends his show with an encore of songs, most notably Islands In The Stream which had the crowd singing, swaying and clapping. Rob Brydon definitely left the Middlesbrough crowd pleased. He said it was his first visit to Middlesbrough and I hope it isn't his last.

Great interaction with the audience, hardly stopped laughing for the whole hour and a half. There were some good bits of Ad lib. His impressions are first class, and his Shakin Stevens dancing better than shakey himself.
You have to see him if you like a good laugh.
I also enjoyed Hal Cruttenden the support act, reminded me of a polite Ricky Gervais.

Cannot Wait until i see him live twice hes welsh you know
