to think that Steve Backshall doesn't really give a dam about kids

[creamteas]

My DC are massive Deadly Sixty fans, booked tickets on the announcement day for the Steve Backshall Tour and got front row seats. The date has been on the calendar for months.

But got an email today saying they have cancelled the performance as not enough people bought tickets. There is another performance that day, but we can?t change. DCs are devastated.

The venue is Warwick Arts Centre and it will be open for other things anyway. The stage will need to be set and taken down for the other performance that day. In other words, I can?t see that they would make a huge loss by going ahead.

AIBU to be pissed off that profits always come first.

I was going to buy tickets for this tonight .

Which one has been cancelled. Afternoon or evening?

Just got back from seeing Mr Backshall and he was lovely, very funny and self-deprecating and really engaged the whole audience, adults & children. He did however show lots of photos of the crew from "Lost Land of the Tiger", which included a few of my friend, causing DS to shout her name out very loudly in a very quiet very dark theatre.

and

Oh who gives a damn about all that funny, self deprecating, engaging the audience crap knotty... did he find an excuse to get his kit off????

I'm kidding - he sounds very nice.

Gosh IAmSherlocked you spend nearly as much time on your back as I would like to in certain circumstances

Good god in heaven LetUs!

I uses to have (still have but haven't seen him since he moved overseas years ago) a very good friend who bears a startling resemblance to Steve Backshall, both facially and bodily iyswim. Sadly (for womankind) he's gay, but if any of y'all are in Australia, he's a very very good osteopath...

here's his face
and here's the matching body...

Mmmmmm, Steve Backshall.

I took the kids to Live n Deadly with a plan to run away with Steve, however my plan failed. But we did meet him, and he was lovely and very very gorgeous and i got some photos of him. Unfortunately he kept his top on.
