   Right, I'm fucking pissed off.
   How many of you so called fans have actually been to or are going to a P&G gig? To see someone pulling a gig because one ticket was sold is fucking shameful, are you fans of these guys? Really?

   People have less money around, I know, but my last ticket however for an Edinburgh preview show was six pounds or so, that's all it was.

   Get your sorry arses to a live show and stop whining about the lack of podcasts.

   Let's fill Kings Place in December, we have been served well over the last few years with top notch entertaining podcasts. It's time for some thank yous.

   Book a cheapy hotel and train ticket (fifty pounds is common) and do the RIGHT thing.

   If you don't your a prick, no really.

   Don't look at me; that 1 ticket for November is upstairs in my bedroom, along with tickets for the Kings place gig later this week and the Peacock and Gamble Overkill in December.

   The rest of you are dirty fucking cows. Ray and Ed deserve better, quite frankly.

   Oh, and before you ask, I don't live in London. I have to get an £18 train ticket to get there each time. But Ray and Ed are more than worth it, the amount of effort they put in.

   TomMayhew I agree with your views, they DO deserve better for the effort.

   I'm pissed off with the disrespect.

   A hundred miles from London myself but it's still party time in December at Kings Place, that London.

   Thanks for the post..

   Completely agree, I recently spent £25 in petrol money to see them in Lincoln (which was fantastic) and also paying £30 train fare to go see them in London. Which is the least they deserve. If you haven't bothered to see them then you need to man up!

   I loved the show last night, especially the podcast, which I wasn't expecting when I got the ticket. I am looking forward to the one in December (have bought my ticket already).

   I haven't been to one of the shows in the current run, but I have been to see Ray and Ed live before. I'm amazed at how rude and pretentious some of the people on here are. People have the right to support things in whatever way they want to, and Ray and Ed as professionals in the entertainment industry surely accept that.

   There will always be people who attend every live show and give maximum support, but likewise there will be people who have listened to every podcast but not gone to a single live show. Maybe live comedy just isn't their thing? Maybe they have no one to go with and are too embarassed to go on their own? Maybe they just have more important things within their own lives to spend their money on than a comedy gig? Maybe they have to spend their money on food and rent, or have kids to look after? Entertainers need support however they can get it, whether it be people who attend gigs or just people who download their material and tell their friends. No one has any right to guilt people who haven't been to see them live.

   Not in anyway a criticism of Ray and Ed, as I know they get annoyed when people don't come and see them, but they're entitled to get annoyed because it's their careers and obviously they need as much as support as possible. I'm sure they're still grateful for the fans they have that don't see them live though.

    I totally agree with SamD. I myself have been to see the Emergency Broadcast twice already and am currently counting the pennies trying to see if I can make it to the overkill show because I am desperate to do so, but if I am unable to then I would not appreciate being hounded down for it and made to feel like a lesser fan.
    Some people genuinely can't go for whatever reason, be it money, time off work, illness, social phobias or whatever, and are probably really envious of people who have to luxury of having £30 spare and a free evening to travel down to London and see some first class comedy.
    I completely understand how frustrating it must be when gigs have to be cancelled and ticket sales are low, but not EVERYONE who doesn't go to a live show is just lazy. I don't want to feel like I'm a shit fan every time I check the forum just because I can't see as many live shows as someone else.

    The show is well good though, so scrimp and save if you can.

    Hi guys, My issue was with the people that moaned and groaned about the lack of podcast whilst not giving anything back.

    I totally agree with your comments and would in no way want people to spend money that they couldn't afford.

    It's about respect though, a quick thank you and good luck is all it takes.

    If any offence has been taken, I apologise.:-)

    Oh, now it's all gone a bit awkward..............

    Just got back from the Stafford gig and i can say that it was the best comedy gig that i have ever been to and worth every penny and more everyone should go to one even if they are not close to you i had to drive about 1 hour to get to Stafford and that drive was worth it.
