LAST night I was entertained by Michael McIntyre “almost live” at the BIC.

A fantastic energetic show which included amusing topical local references to the “lack of Air Show” and the ageing population, was thoroughly enjoyable.

Regretfully, though, most big stars, whether they be one man stand up acts or bands booked into high capacity venues rely on huge monitors to give the majority of the audience “a ring side seat”, whilst they are a speck in a spotlight on stage.

Hardly “live entertainment” and not cheap to watch a TV show!
