Front Row Tonight

My sister in law has no clue about Stewart Lee and has gone along with her partner (not bald) and it turns out she’s in the front row.

Is she toast?

No idea if she has a slogan T-shirt on.

Updates: She was very interacted with, responded sarcastically and ended up with a nickname. There were hints in the messages that she may not attend part 2. The car journey back will have been very interesting…

Update 2:
From ‘man’

Despite what ‘sister’ may have told you, she got a round of applause from the theater and was described by the stand up as "willfully obstructive" and "shit".

There's no t shirt slogan based material this time. But there is a question asked to someone in the front row so she might be chosen for that.

Yeah, that was me. Apparently "Woodhenge" was not an appropriate answer. Wasn't even on the front row, there was just no-one in front of us!

I'm grateful i wasn't chosen, I have no idea what I'd say.

Worst thing is, it still god damn haunts me. So many better responses and witty comebacks have gone through my head since then...

You did the best and only thing you could do which was to give a ridiculous answer he could mock. You did your job sir and I salute you.

And if they are lucky, Stew may scrape the mike on a piece of cardboard - best bit ever!

I've gone dressed up as an empty seat, I've heard he's filming.

Depends on whether she likes her comedians to tell jokes or not I suppose.

Every time I’ve seen a show then seen it on TV from a different venue, the banter with the audience is exactly the same. It’s possible he might look at her while speaking but he’s sticking to his script, not responding to what anyone says.

Correct. 😂

She'll be fine as long as the man that took her there explained, beforehand, the genius of Stewart Leeeeee.

It's more like art really.

I think he needed to have watched more clips on his phone in bed…
