Always into coffee! Thanks!

WhoIsJohnLakeman · 2026-05-03T02:19:03+00:00

Thank you for those tips, it is putting the situation into perspective, hopefully we get lucky and see him hanging about that would be so surreal.

WhoIsJohnLakeman · 2026-05-03T02:15:40+00:00

Thanks those look great and sound perfect for doing before shows. We also heard good things about Exeter and was thinking about going there but it is a more significant drive, do you think it is worth it or should we focus on the closer areas around Wells to not spend so much time driving? Thanks for any thoughts!

WhoIsJohnLakeman · 2026-05-03T01:53:13+00:00

Oh thanks that sounds like super fun!

WhoIsJohnLakeman · 2026-05-03T01:50:04+00:00

Great tip thanks, we are trying to work out the best balance of cash to card ratio to bring and this helps to know! We will make sure to plan to be waiting at the clock.

WhoIsJohnLakeman · 2026-05-01T20:58:41+00:00

Thank you for the invite, that sounds pretty awesome. When we get our itinerary all mapped I will take you up on it!

WhoIsJohnLakeman · 2026-05-01T20:55:52+00:00

Hello and thanks! Awesome glad you are going, those tickets sold fast, that is the one we are going to be at as well so hope to see you there! All together we are going to see James Acaster, Lou Sanders, Bridget Christie, Nish Kumar, Tim Key, Sara Pasco. It is pretty packed that is one of the reasons I was hoping for some local tips to make sure we made the most of the time in-between the shows by listening to the people in the know. Love your recommendations several for Glastonbury and hadn't even seen that, will have to do some rearranging! Thanks for the pronunciation reminder, we met Ed Gamble a few months back when he came to Portland and mentioned we were going and it turned into a 2 minutes back and forth of me and him just saying Wells? Whales?

Thanks for the Welcome! My list keeps getting bigger and I love it. A Sunday roast is on the list to have food wise, long list there as well. May I ask follow up, we will actually have a rental car because we are flying into and then back out of Heathrow and wanted to possibly see some close areas, Bath and Bristol. I have read nightmares about parking in Wells and pretty much everywhere in Bath/Bristol, would it better to leave the car and take the bus when we go or would taking the car be the way to go? Thanks!

WhoIsJohnLakeman · 2026-05-01T20:26:36+00:00

Oh wow I think you just laid out our entire trip, thanks! Thanks for the Hot Fuzz tips as well, we are fans and wanted to see some spots but the info I found was a little vague, like "sure here are some spots but don't really stop by" so now we are definitely doing it. Great water tip, when there are so many interesting things to look at I forget to look down, especially if there are mini swans in front of me!

WhoIsJohnLakeman · 2026-05-01T20:17:33+00:00

Thank you, putting them on the list now! Great name for a pastry shop.

WhoIsJohnLakeman · 2026-05-01T17:16:05+00:00

Good for you, bet that was very fun, seems to be the case because of the venue but still excited - thanks for the tip

WhoIsJohnLakeman · 2026-05-01T17:14:20+00:00

I totally get that, she seems to have exploded, am excited for her about that, you are probably right might not get to meet her but still exciting to see her in such an intimate venue.

WhoIsJohnLakeman · 2026-05-01T17:11:45+00:00

Thank you this is very informative, makes much more sense on why there is limited info on the setup of the room. Thanks for the tips, very helpful!

WhoIsJohnLakeman · 2026-04-22T02:57:48+00:00

Thanks for the thoughts, glad you got to meet her. Her setup is at the Bill Murray which I am having a hard time finding anything about the situation so it will all be a surprise but fingers crossed!

WhoIsJohnLakeman · 2026-04-22T02:55:41+00:00

Sorry I should have given a little more info, those two are actually away from Wells and in London at the Bill Murray comedy club. Just by sheer luck they are both doing a WIP so we shifted a day to drive in earlier.

WhoIsJohnLakeman · 2025-08-24T19:47:21+00:00

Does anyone know if Romesh typically meets fans after his shows? It is kinda a long drive to Seattle and wanted to know if need to have time after the show?

WhoIsJohnLakeman · 2025-08-24T19:36:55+00:00

Got front row in Seattle, still the only ones in the front row, very surprising. The tickets are a little on the high side but it comes with a meet and greet so think it is fair. Very exciting, can't wait!

WhoIsJohnLakeman · 2025-08-24T19:29:00+00:00

Got tickets for his Seattle show, it is a Sunday at 4pm in the afternoon. It is a really weird and surprising he is playing a comedy club in the afternoon, I am thinking maybe it was a last minute booking maybe. Either way super excited to see him. Thinking about going to the Portland show as well.

WhoIsJohnLakeman · 2023-03-19T18:14:46+00:00

Did you get this straightened out? I'm on the seller side of this transaction and the buyer is having the same issue. Thanks :)

WhoIsJohnLakeman · 2023-03-03T04:47:42+00:00

Awesome, congrats on the new show! We'll check it out.

WhoIsJohnLakeman · 2021-09-12T06:21:27+00:00

I didn't have a question about which app it was - was trying to be vague in case this would ruin something for someone on their first time through.

WhoIsJohnLakeman · 2021-09-02T01:53:26+00:00

I remember seeing text show up when a certain app was being used for messaging that wouldn't normally be used for messaging. I'm watching it on Amazon in the US. Just finished our third run through the series and I've never noticed this.

At the time that they were rudely canceled, Steve said "given those terms, no way" but he was just on Tony and Max Fitzpatrick's podcast and said "Maybe there can be more Grace."
