Now Everyone has the chance to se this completely new and hilarious show. Ben Elton at his best, in fact maybe better because this way you don't have to park the car or queue for the bogs at the interval.

Although an incredibly Successful writer, It is as a Stand-up comedian that Ben Elton is most famous. In 1997 over 300,000 fans around the country saw Ben Elton live during his sell-out tour which the media hailed as his funniest and most accessible material to date.

"Ben Elton knows you are waiting. You are being held in a queue, and will be entertained shortly." This announcement comes over the tannoy at the start of Ben Elton’s sell-out Hexagon gig, part of his Get A Grip tour. He’s right, even faintly amusing, about many things – yes we are a nation permanently on hold. Probably someone will find my skeleton, a mobile still clutched in my bony fingers. Yes, ‘The Ideas Store’ may be a rubbish new name for the humble library. Maybe kids’ fizzy drinks are now so large that maybe one day children will drown in them. And why, indeed, does Starbucks serve coffee in pints? But all of these things are more Grumpy Old Men than comedy that has them rolling in the aisles.
