I went to see Sean Lock yesterday with my dad and brothers. It was quite good, but the only picture I have available to me is this wonderfully high quality image. I linked it instead of making it visible on the off chance that anyone else on TWHL is going to that tour. As he said during the show, the whole impact of that costume is that you're not expecting it, so if everyone heard about it beforehand nobody would laugh.
Since there wasn't any supporting act, Sean Lock's actual act was about twice as long as Frankie Boyle's was, as both shows were about two hours.
Afterwards, my cheeks were pretty sore from laughing, which is about the only possible reason I could think of to not go if you get the chance.

Aside from the act, the theatre itself was pretty cool. It had an old fashioned look, and while that photo doesn't seem to show it, being there made it seem that it was actually taller than it was wide. We were on the second row of the top balcony, and it was steep enough that we had a pretty good view of the stage.

Sean Lock is great. Mad but great. Only ever seen bits of his stand-up, but I always love him on QI, and I watch 8 Out of 10 Cats for him and Jon Richardson.

His last bit about the heart wrenching artsy film that features a fight between two brothers and a nude, erect one armed juggler was certainly mad.
And I think by this point I've seen most of my favourite QI regulars, but there are still a few more for the future.
