London the capital of all things British. A centre for finance, monarchy and above all the home to the News Revue at the Canal Caf\u00e9 Theatre that sadly I never got to see or experience.<\/p>\n

Having travelled from Manchester especially to see my daughter and family, a planned Saturday night performance\u00a0was booked to see this well-established show.<\/p>\n

We arrived on time to premises with a small entrance that could be mistaken for a pub rather than a ground floor bar and theatre.<\/p>\n

As we waited for the 9-30pm performance we noticed considerable\u00a0activity by the theatregoers\u00a0waiting to gain access to the upstairs, where presumably the theatre and performance would take place.<\/p>\n

There was no announcement, no explanation, no signs or directions to indicate why shoulders were dropping, smiles were turning to frowns and heels were turned and wait for it … people were leaving … all of them??<\/p>\n

As we made our\u00a0way to the tiny kiosk by the front door, someone said the show was cancelled.\u00a0I asked the man behind the tiny ticket desk why?<\/p>\n

“The technician is stuck on the tube”<\/p>\n

And that was it … nothing else, just the show is cancelled.<\/p>\n

So I am unable to review the longest running live\u00a0comedy show in the Canal Caf\u00e9 Theatre because\u00a0it was stuck on the tube!<\/p>\n
