Today we went to see a taping of the Paul O’Grady show. It is an English comedy / interview show that is on weekdays at 5pm.
Sarah got the tickets for free from the BBC website (or some such). They doors opened at 12:30, and we got there at about 11:30. Lucky for us, because there was already a big line.
We just made it in, and were sitting right in the back row. This suited Sarah, since getting picked on to do any sort of audience participation would be one of her worst nightmares. It turned out that there was no audience participation during the show, but the warm up comedian did a little bit.
Ticket to see Paul O'Grady
It turned out that we hit the jackpot, because he had some famous guests on the show for interviews while we were there.
We got to see gossip magazine favourites Peter Andre and Katie Price. You may know Peter and his rock hard abs from his 90s hit Mysterious Girl. Katie Price is famous for Page 3 modeling, and for being famous. They were on the show to promote the 2nd season of the show that follows their lives. Peter has also just finished recording his 5th album.
They both came across as quite normal, and dare I say even nice. They also looked quite suited to each other.
My favorite bit of the show was during a section when Paul O’Grady reads letters purportedly sent to him from members of the audience. One was – “My husband and I would like to thank you for all the sunshine you bring into our lives, – PAUSE -, every time your show comes on we go out into the garden.”
Overall it was a pretty good afternoon out.
