I went to a recording of good news world.
a few thoughts:
* they swear a lot
* they can be quite dirty - they make it really clear that's how they roll, I do notice I think that its something also that comedians turn to when they get desparate in terms of jokes
* in between every thing that got filmed, Paul Mc Dermott had to keep the vibe up by talking to the audience and making them laugh - what a difficult job - he did well!
* you're told to laugh, even if you don't get the joke ( and implied - don't think its funny) - fair enough, you get a free ticket to go watch a recording, you can't get on your hobby horse and not laugh
* you can't go to the toilet - well not without you being singled out!
* pyrotechnics can really kill a recording when things go wrong
* it can be a tough and demanding job - I'm very thankful for mine now - its stressful, people swear and curse, and its somewhat unpredictable.
* wheeling those sets in and out is a pain!
We sat in an area that meant we were well obscured and not going to be on camera. Least I hope! :)
Conclusion - why watch a live recording when you can watch the best of and cut down version in an hour in the comfort of your home, rather than having 4.5 hours of your life whilst you sit there and feel like your derrie goes numb. I have heard that the panel is much better to see a live recording of - skits are better on the tv.
