Hello
(c) Jonathon Keenan
Well we are a couple of weeks into Two at The Royal Exchange. It seems to be going very well, certainly audience reaction has been great and everyone at the theatre appears to be quite pleased with what we are doing. I’m really enjoying it and I know Vicky is as well. I always find myself in a tizz at what to do about ‘blowing my trumpet’ with things like this. I cringe sometimes at people I admire a lot tweeting every last little bit of praise they get – be it just a message about a gig or a review. It’s a funny one – if I was on tour doing stand up and getting loads of reviews that said I was the best thing ever but I wasn’t selling enough tickets then I’m sure I’d be a bit more forward at spreading the received love.
As it is – it doesn’t really matter how many tickets we sell for Two – I don’t get anymore dosh. Honest – I’m only getting one wage as well despite playing seven characters in the bloody thing.
However, I’m dead keen for as many people to see this as possible, houses so far have been really great for this time of year (I’m told) but we could always do with a few more bums on seats. So, I’m cutting and pasting some of the comments and reviews we have received. Obviously not the rubbish ones (there haven’t been (m)any). There are some great deals around especially early in the week – be great to see you.

Laughed & (almost) cried tonight @rxtheatre & @justinmoorhouse had me nearly convinced he was a small, duffel-coated boy at one point.
