      Great, so we don't need to tune in at any given time. That's good. Thanks

      I have no idea why anyone likes this bloke.

      I laughed at his Reddit AMA backfiring: https://amp.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/bqy5zf/i_am_james_cor…

      Edit: (saw someone below already posted it)

      This performance is from a few years ago, and I think he nailed it.
      My opinion is that he is not as entertaining now, but this is worth a look.

    James Corden's AMA from Reddit last year.

    More anecdotes on his character: https://twitter.com/sebpatrick/status/919500140993482753?lan…

      I'm not saying he's not a jerk, but Reddit is just as a reliable source of character as Twitter.

      That is to say, they're not. Generally just a bunch of people pretending to be perfect individuals and sharing popular (usually negative) opinions so they gain Karma or Clout.

        I don't think the TripAdvisor reviews for his show put him in a positive light: https://www.tripadvisor.com.au/Attraction_Review-d8368551?m=…

        There seems to be a similar theme to many of the anecdotes.

        • Ninternet on 29/03/2020 - 20:07

          I'd say TripAdvisor accounts are more likely to be accurate reviews as they've most likely actually come into contact with him rather than a bunch of people trying to get upvotes on Reddit by repeating what other people have said to get upvotes

    Is there a spreadsheet or some quick view of the various free entertainment options we have? I'm (not quite) a boomer so incapable if setting this up, but I'm sure it would be a great resource for many. There's getting to be so many free options available that it's hard to keep track.

  • Diji1 on 29/03/2020 - 15:06

    Plays are usually kinda crap on a screen.

      Not when you pay $20 for a ticket and see it on the big screen.

      These National Theatre Live performances are filmed with a live audience in the theatre, but not over-produced. The performances are usually broadcast through cinemas globally (delayed in Aust).
      They are good quality in my view.

    I saw One Man and Two Guvnors and Frankenstein with Benedict Cumbersnatch and Jonny Lee Miller (Double Sherlock) when they were shown in cinemas. Both were great. Definitely worth a watch.

    • Melbournian on 29/03/2020 - 16:38

      Same here. Also saw The Curious Incident of the Dog in the night time (one of my favourite NT Live play) in the cinema. Then watched the live performance in Melbourne which featured the original UK cast.

  • edathor on 29/03/2020 - 17:32

    Made my day!! James Corden is the best.

  • aquilia on 29/03/2020 - 19:27

    Thanks OP, this is great! I saw One Man, Two Guvnors and really enjoyed it. Jane Eyre, the second play out on April 9th, was great too.

  • Ciderfizz44 on 30/03/2020 - 00:41

    Is that Chris Farley in the picture?

    This belongs in the forums, otherwise might as well post everything from youtube…

  • OldBugger on 10/04/2020 - 10:59

    After the lockdown everyone will be garden experts and theatre buffs

  • DeeTrance on 10/04/2020 - 11:22

    When I hear James Corden, immediate thought is to slit my wrist.

  • Taegukgi on 01/05/2020 - 08:13

    Frankenstein this week.
