The stage set consisted of a pair of keyboards plus electric and acoustic guitars. Bill himself seemed to pace around a bit nervously whilst talking, but seemed more relaxed with an instrument in his hands. He claims not to be good at jokes, but his stream of vaguely connected themes had the audience in fits. I wasn't so sure about his use of questions to the audience as it just encourages show-offs to shout silly things, but I liked his use of 'heckle waiting'.
The musical parodies were excellent. Portishead, Kraftwerk, U2 and Chris de Burgh(?) all got the treatment. There was some nice use of lighting and projected images.
I keep smiling to myself as I remember some of the lines. It's not really stuff you can tell to other people. I can't make it as funny as he does.
Overall an excellent night.
BTW I noticed a few kids there. I'm sure some of the stuff goes way over their little heads, but he hardly swears, making him pretty family friendly.
