Tickets for a series of gigs for a week were sold out in only 90 minutes.What really appealed to me was all proceeds for the appearances would go to Palestinian charities.
These were preview practice concerts to try out material for his upcoming series tramadol Nights in front of a live studio audience.

Having found about it much later in the evening they went on sale and receiving a series of SOLD OUT messages i philosophical reserved myself to not being fated to attend such a neat way to give the Palestinians money.
On the day of the first performance a friend of mines managed to get a precious returned ticket.On the very off chance i asked him if the Stand could offer a carer ticket so that he can have assistance to get into the venue.The Stand rightly said no-chance , only to phone my Friend an hour later to not only offer a ticket but a free one to boot.
Unlike Theatre and Musical concerts it is never a good idea to sit at the very front for a comedian performance , unless you enjoy being humiliated in public, to do so for Frankie Boyle is really asking for it , and he never fails to deliver.
I have to admit im not really a fan of his deeply offensive humour , but he does give the impression he could change tack and be equally effective at other modes of comedy with a simple gear change.Anyone who is willing to stick up for , and support the Palestinians is much to be admired.
Here is an example of him doing self-depreciating Scottish jokes:
And here is him in his element with a flurry of offensive jokes:
