I was at the Liverpool show last night aswell, really enjoyed it.

I've got loads of questions which im sure will never be answered, but maybe someone could answer this one..

Was there really a gorilla that swiped the banana the first time? lol as nobody seemed to have seen it, which makes me wonder if it was on a string or something lol but myabe there genuinely was a gorilla that took it?

PS: for the Derren nerds, he was wearing a baseball cap and t shirt at the stage door. With sunglasses on his shirt which I was severely tempted to try and nick, but I didn't.

What, no trousers?
Wait, I assume you mean Derren not Andy...?
If you want to go into a little more detail feel free

PS Introductions in the introductions thread!

Sorry if I am being thick but I dont get it

Can anyone elaborate on the phone thing without giving too much away? Could always PM me. I'm good with secrets.

I quite like to be able to "have some thoughts" about what someone does.

Frisbees?
Why did 150 people go on stage?
Sorry I'm such a curious lass!

The 150 were probably the ones collecting the cards and envelopes for the second half Oracle Q & A Act.

The usher with the microphone gave me such an evil look when it happened too!

I'm so glad people have mentioned the "fainting" as I would be really concerned LOL.

Bet the usher does that every time.

Ahh yes. Thanks.
BTW sorry for a lot of posts at once, I'm kind of catching up!
(I've figured out the frisbees thing now, I was hoping for the monkey)

I understand that the monkey was sold on ebay last year - it was rather tatty and in need of repair after being flung about in various theatres!

Fides wrote:this guy didn't take a frisbee up with him. I dunno, perhaps I'm wrong but I do remember consciously only counting four frisbees as they went out. And he was directly in front of me so if a frisbee had been coming my way I think I would have spotted it. It would be the perfect opportunity to pull that kind of stunt,

Hmm, at first i thought maybe the guy just cheated to get up there, but i guess that wouldnt work (unless one frisbee was lost).

Fides wrote:It was funny, the dramatic silence, DB lying on the stage, the unknown, the "what's happened"... and then you quietly going "oops" on the mike that was still live....!

Hahahaha.
I know its unlikely i get picked but if i was in jasons position i might have panicked and tried to administer first aid!!

I bet it sold for a fair amount.
