We brought down the house in Brighton. Sorry about that! Blame it on the rainbows. We’re on the road to Liverpool where the Rutles will be appearing with me tomorrow night. See ericidle.com for tickets and info. So far two shows, two standing O’s. It doesn’t get better than that.

Hey we’re switching the Bournemouth Gig to the Pavilion. If you’ve bought tickets already they will be saved and honoured if you haven’t why the hell not?
See you there for an evening of fun and laughter.
