First off I can't believe the reviews people have left on here, I don't know if there's an agenda to get Coogan or something but they claim to be fans and that this was terrible and it just wasn't. One person even said that he needed his writers to help him, it literally says on the first credits scene that Neil Gibbons and Rob Gibbons were also writers, that's who he always works with nowadays.
Now is this 'The man who thinks he's it'? No, but I don't think any character comedy stand up has ever come close to that, it's a master piece. But is this good, yes 100% it is!
Tbh it's just nice to get some new Partridge/Coogan, bit annoyed that it wasn't advertised, the amount of Partridge I've watched on Prime/Britbox and paid for I thought it would have been recommended all over the shop, but it was by complete accident that I found it and I'm so glad that I did.
Ignore the hate on this, it's funny and it's new and it fits in with new era Partridge (This time, Partrimilgrimage etc). It does get a bit silly, but it's a big venue and he's got to play it to the back row as he's not on a big screen.
There's a few genuinely classic moments, I don't want to give away any spoilers, but an old friend comes about and makes Alan look a proper eejit.
There really is some moments that will go down as classic Partridge and some that missed the mark a bit. But it is in no way a bad watch, if you like Alan get it watched straight away!
Edit: One take away thought I had is that I don't think Partridge should be doing a live show for an hour and a half, on all the other live things he's just the main event act, but here he's the whole thing and I don't think any characters should be on stage for that long.
Some new Paul Calf or even bringing Cheeseman back could have helped this out.
Yes I know there were guests, but there could have been more. Just an edit I had to add.
