Miranda Hart

We got ourselves along to the O2 centre for the first time.  It's this massive arena at the very end of the peninsula of North Greenwich, it's actually really easy for us to get there from home. There is a bus that stops right outside our house that goes there.

Miranda Hart has been a bit of a revelation for me over here. I guess she's been around for a while and has been on a few TV shows already, but it's only here that I discovered her, purely through her own TV show. I find it so funny, but I guess I like that slightly slap-sticky humour. I'm guessing that it's not for everyone.

The weird thing is, unlike other comedians she never got her start doing stand up. One of her first stand up shows was at the O2, which is quite incredible when you think about it. It was packed, it was a sell-out and she had to keep putting more shows on to keep up with the demand. She did pretty well for her first stand-up tour. I think she started in the smaller towns first, it would have been incredibly intimidating to be facing the vastness of the O2 arena as your first live comedy show.

It was great, she was probably a little nervous in parts, and the best parts were definitely when she deviated a little from her script. Then it felt a bit more natural and way more funny. I'm hoping she does some more tours, and relaxes more, at some points it felt a little like watching her TV show. The crowd was so genuinely supportive, they really wanted her to succeed, no hecklers for Miranda. It was a great night and I would see any show of hers. If you haven't already, definitely give the boxed set a go.
