UKC

Andy will be back on the road this October coming to a venue near most of you with his new show Off the Wall. What's it all about? Apparently how to climb El Cap, offend a Prime Minister's wife and get rescued in style from the Eiger - his usual mix of bizarre stories from the last two years of his life.

In reply to Speakers from the Edge: Edinburgh isn't showing on the online booking site? I don't think ...

In reply to robertmichaeladams: I know - I'm on it! Will let you know as soon as its up.

In reply to Speakers from the Edge:

Can't see anywhere in Saskatchewan on the list.

Andy, if ya come I can't promise a big turn out but I can promise it'll be f**kin cold. Plenty of scope for an adventure.

In reply to Speakers from the Edge:

Any chance of a venue in Birmingham? - nearest is Derby at the moment.

P.S. Birmingham is a big city with lots of climbers

In reply to Speakers from the Edge:

Nothing showing up on the Llandudno night?

In reply to davegs: Here is link to event at Llandudno - please visit http://www.venuecymru.co.uk/details.php?id=915

In reply to Alan_2468: Afraid not this time - he came to Birmingham for When Hell Freezes Over and had a low turn out so the venue we use there was not keen to have him back. If one of the climbing walls there want to host though, they can always give us a shout!

In reply to robertmichaeladams: EICA says due to IFSA Youth World Champs at due there this week they are a bit delayed at getting Andy's date up on site - they will aim to do this by Mon next week - I will post on here once they are ready to sell tickets.

In reply to Speakers from the Edge: Cheers

In reply to Speakers from the Edge:

Thank you.

In reply to davegs:

When I click on the link to book tickets it takes me to this page

http://purchase.tickets.com/buy/TicketPurchase?agency=NWTHEATRE&organ_v...

saying there are no events scheduled.

Trying to book three tickets, any help appreciated.

Thanks

In reply to davegs:

http://www.venuecymru.co.uk/details.php?id=915

works for me? (I get in for free though)

andy

In reply to davegs: Hi Venue Cymru said they are aware of the problem on their site and they are working to try and fix it - may have to book via telephone for the moment - I will post again when they have this sorted.

Cheers,

Rebecca

In reply to andy kirkpatrick:

So everyone else gets their enquiry answered but me, that's descrimination!

No "we tried to book Saskatoon but nobody knew who the f**k Andy was so we decided against it" type replies.

In reply to Removed User:

Sorry if my above sounds bad, it's meant to be sarcasm and humourous but probably doesn't sound like it. I once asked Andy to come to Inverness and he did so I figured if I asked him to come to Saskatoon he might

In reply to andy kirkpatrick:

At least I don't have to go more than one

In reply to Speakers from the Edge:
already got the tickets - talking of which must pay the person back for them!

In reply to Removed User:

Doesn't he live in Inverness, though?

In reply to nufkin:

He didn't then, but I guess there were changes coming.

Can't wait!!

In reply to Speakers from the Edge:

I saw Andy at a talk at Redpoint last year or year before. The talk was about climbing El Cap with Karen. Is this the same material?

Even though it was brilliant & highly recommended, I don't want to go see the same talk twice.

If it's different material though, I'd love to go.

In reply to jessyb55: Hi, Andy says he will be talking about his most recent trip to El Cap this summer when he set out to climb El Cap in a day and to solo El Cap in a day - there will be a little bit about his climb with Karen but this is essentially a new talk with new material.

In reply to Speakers from the Edge: Only 24 tickets left in Inverness, so don't hang around if you are thinking of going.

In reply to andy kirkpatrick:

One rule for one...

I came to see you at Leamington Spa, and can recommend it, if only to listen to someone from Hull repeatedly saying "snow". And the paedophile gag.

In reply to robertmichaeladams: And finally - you can now buy tickets at EICA Ratho - for details please visit http://www.eica-ratho.com/content/andy-kirkpatrick-off-the-wall/3469/

In reply to Speakers from the Edge: NEW DATE added - Round four of this years Scottish Tooling Series is going to host Off the Wall at the Ice Factor in Kinlochleven - for info on booking tickets please visit http://www.scottishtoolingseries.co.uk/2010/09/andy-kirkpatrick-off-the-wal...

In reply to Speakers from the Edge: So did anyone go last night? Be great to hear what people thought?

In reply to Speakers from the Edge:

Yup, I went. Andy K up to his usual tricks. Stories of epics and innapropriate jokes - good stuff. Enjoyed it. If I ever become paraplegic, you can tell him that I'll be getting in touch for a sojourn on El Cap.

In reply to Speakers from the Edge: I went last night to Shrewsbury, I took my old man who just thinks I'm mental for climbing things. He really enjoyed it and can now see that there are more mental people than me
A good show which I also enjoyed and would recommend going to see.

In reply to Speakers from the Edge:
Yes I saw him at Shrewsbury last too, what a great night I laughed from start to finsh...even at the inappropriate stuff , he's naturally funny with this rambling style, go see him for yourselves !!!!!! you wont regret it.

In reply to Speakers from the Edge: We're only selling Bristol tickets online until 4.30 pm today - please visit http://www.speakersfromtheedge.com/node/219. Afterwards tickets are only available via the venue box office 0845 40 24 001 or on the door on the night.

In reply to Speakers from the Edge: Went to the Shrewsbury showing - loved every minute of it. laughed sooooo much. Shame my boyfriend missed the talk but he's currently in Yosemite - good excuse!
Thanks for coming to Shrewsbury.

In reply to Speakers from the Edge: Only 48 tickets left for London Covent Garden on Saturday - if there are any left we will sell remainder on the day, but probably good idea to book online before if possible - please visit http://www.speakersfromtheedge.com/node/242

In reply to Speakers from the Edge: INVERNESS goes back on sale today after being sold out for two weeks - managed to move Andy's talk to the larger Empire Theatre at Eden Court - box office 01463 234 234

In reply to Speakers from the Edge:

Saw him at Bristol. Funny man.

Apparently aid climbing El Cap is no harder than climbing E1... Not sure I believe him!

Saw him last night at Wakefield.
Absolutely bloody hilarious!
Brilliant stuff.

(Just can't get "Captain Kirk is climbing the mountain, why is he climbing the mountain...." out of my head today!)

In reply to Roger Irrelevant:


Saw him in Stockport recently. Hilarious although likewise I had Captain Kirk stuck in my head for days afterwards..

In reply to Speakers from the Edge: Andy is back on the road today after a week off - busy week kicking off in Epsom, then Swansea, Andover, Barnstaple, Camberley and Tunbridge Wells. If you're planning to go to Andover there are only 12 tickets left.

In reply to Speakers from the Edge: saw him last night in andover. Very very funny! Highly recommended and I think even none climbers will appreciate his humour!

In reply to Speakers from the Edge: What time's kick off at Ratho of Wednesday?

In reply to Speakers from the Edge: Dress code for the Lancaster Dukes. No one will be allowed admission if wearing Duvet Jackets or Ron Hills.

In reply to Ian Black:

Excellent - Mr. Kirkpatrick's at Ratho this evening. Looking forward to it.

P.S. Does anyone know who the handsome chap in the Ian Parnell promo poster with the iced-up eyebrows is?
http://www.eica-ratho.com/content/blood,-sweat-and-frozen-tears!/3617/

In reply to Phatman: Kick off is at 8pm, bar open from 7.

In reply to PeterM: Only 40 tickets left for Ratho tonight, so might be worth pre-booking on 0131 3336333

In reply to Speakers from the Edge:

i'm all booked up...just hope I still have the receipt.....

In reply to Speakers from the Edge:

Heard the Stornoway show went well. Good to see somebody making the trek that far.

In reply to PeterM:
