One Woman Show - Ambassadors

Yes everyone should take huge pay cuts so that everyone pays £15-20 for a show.

Or they could not build a set , make costumes or turn the lights on.

annette - I was in last night and completely agree with you (sounds like I was sat in a very similar place, too! Stalls row J).

I thought it was good, but not great. There were some very funny moments and I thought she was a very engaging performer but for me it was at least 15 mins too long. The framing device felt unnecessary and it was mostly during these moments where it dragged.

I only paid £15 for what should have been an £80 seat - if I'd paid the real price I would have felt seriously ripped off. If I'd seen this at the fringe I expect I'd have been raving about it, but in a West End theatre (at potentially West End prices!), something didn't quite gel for me.

3/5

Saw this tonight and agree with the above, though in fairness to the show my night was completely ruined by the beastly (in both physical stature and behaviour) woman sat beside me. If I'd have paid more than 15 quid I'd probably be sitting in a police station right now.

Apart from a few LOL moments of utter silliness it was a big miss for me.

If you're going to attempt to do something like this it should at least be as good as or better than what you are doing a commentary on and this was not even close.

I didn't find her at all likable or her or her stories relatable or funny.

Very scattered laughs from the crowd mostly as well so I don't think I was alone in my disappointment and they didn't even have a human vibrator to contend with.

2/5 for me, though it probably would've been a 3/5 if I didn't spend the entire night blinded by fury.

Well don't leave us hanging, what was the beastly woman up to?

I'm too scared to say now I know alessia was sitting in the same row as me in case it was her LOL

Ahhh so you were sat next to my partner and I was on the other side next to the woman in question. I'm sorry if my expletive filled rant on the way out offended you LOL

So now I can spill the 'T' partytentdown

The woman arrived late with her companion, it was almost 8.40 when she plonked herself down in the chair and I believe they were the last 2 people to take their seats, so actually the entire theatre had to wait for the pleasure of their company.

When she sat down she spread her legs very wide and hard which spun me sideways into my partners lap at which point after claiming all the legroom she also claimed the arm rest. If my arm even moved in that direction the whole night she rudely pushed it away. I was practically laying across my partners lap the whole time.

After spreading her legs, she then reached into her bag, took out her phone and took a picture of the stage which now had the performer standing on it giving the opening part of the show. She then sat there typing out a message during the opening with her phone screen as bright as it could possibly be and sent it just as the lights went down.

She then proceeded to shake her right leg quite violently which made my seat vibrate non stop for the next hour and 10 minutes. I could compare it to sitting on on a vibrator, but it was actually worse than that, it was like sitting on a massage gun. 

It did not matter what I did she would not stop doing it and it actually occurred to me about halfway through the show that she was doing it on purpose to piss me off. 

The woman behind her was clearly livid too as she had to sit there watching 2 people bobbing up and down in their seats for the whole show.

To top it all off, she was also clearly as sick as a dog and would let out these repulsive coughs and not cover her mouth. She did this right in my ear and I could literally hear the phlegm expunge itself from her lungs up into her mouth and then hear the gulp as she swallowed it again.

I have had some dreadful theatre companions in the past, but this revolting psychopath definitely takes the biscuit!

I was quite shocked my other half couldn't feel it it was so bad.

He said he wondered why I was laying on top of him and said he felt crushed because he didn't want to lean the other way as there was a girl sat on her own and he didn't want her to think he was some dirty old man trying to cop a feel LOL

One Woman Vibrating?

Fine for £15 tickets in row L, a couple of proper laughs but we too didn't find it as funny as some in the audience. On an offer, for our last show of the year, it was grand.

18.00 show and people were let in as late as 18.35 which is a bit of a shocker from the theatre to be honest.

She is engaging and found myself laughing, that good kind of hardy laugh, a few times but not enough and overall have to say a bit disappointed given the 5 star reviews in The Guardian and Time Out. I am a huge Fleabag fan, a big alt comedy guy - but her material just didn't connect with me. I think had I scene the show at Fringe or Soho Theatre maybe my expectations would have been lowered (err I don't think so)
I also paid 80 Pounds for it...and kicking myself as the folks next to me got their seats the day prior for 20.
Liz will have a great career I am sure of it - but this material....ooof

I also loved it! Maybe not 5 stars, but I belly laughed from start to finish

I enjoyed this thanks to TodayTix but I'm not sure I would have liked to pay a full price ticket for it. Liz Kingsman is a talented comedian, though.
I managed to squeeze this one between Mother Goose and Allegiance but I got a bit anxious because, as has already been said above, it doesn't start on time. Liz appeared on the stage at 6.07pm and it ended at 7.21pm. I had to run to Charing Cross Theatre but fortunately Allegiance didn't start on time either!
