• IN CAB DRIVERS WE TRUST

  
  My Blahg — Authority: 125
  I’m beginning to understand why we on the left are having so much trouble getting our brethren on the right to believe the things we tell them. It’s because we’re not passing our information to them via cab drivers . An Iraqi taxi driver may have been the source of the discredited claim that Saddam Hussein ...

• THE ACORN THAT DROVE THE RIGHT WHINGERS NUTS

  
  My Blahg — Authority: 125
  Remember that devastating undercover investigation by a Republican pimp daddy and his teabaggin’ ho that proved Acorn stole the election for Obama or some such nonsense? Well it turns out, to nobody’s surprise I’m sure, that it was much ado about nothing . ACORN employees caught in those undercover videos ...

• Review – Cinderella with Mickey Rooney, Milton Keynes Theatre

  
  West End Whingers — Authority: 121
  Yes you read that right – Milton Keynes. What could possibly have dragged the Whingers there? Well the clue is in the title. Mickey Rooney (aged 89). The Mickey Rooney!! Oh and er… Anthea Turner (aged 49), ( Perfect Housewife ). But Mickey Rooney! Yes, Mickey’s putting on the show right here in the barn ...

• Review – Jiggery Pokery, Battersea Arts Centre

  
  West End Whingers — Authority: 121
  Here’s a brain teaser for you: WEW favourite and Kneehigh regular Amanda Lawrence plays comedy legend Charles Hawtrey (and about 50 other roles besides) in an 80 minute one-woman show. Why on earth would Phil not be there? Could it be something to do with that old, inconvenient art-holding-a-mirror-up-to-life ...

• Review – Cock, Royal Court

  
  West End Whingers — Authority: 121
  Things weren’t looking good as the Whingers entered the Royal Court ’s upstairs auditorium. The Court was very much in officiousness overdrive up there. It’s all so very, very strict. Greeted by a humourless usher who makes an airport security official look like Pollyanna, instructions come thick and fast: you ...

• Review – Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Novello Theatre

  
  West End Whingers — Authority: 121
  Those who know the Whingers will be aware that Phil is very conventional, abhors change and is rather partial to tradition. Even the more easy-going, liberal and forward-looking Andrew has habits, some of which are rather disagreeable. So trying something new and indulging in a little experimentation is for them ...

• In which the Whingers spend some not-so-happy hours in the Royal Court Bar

  
  West End Whingers — Authority: 121
  It’s a scandal we tell you! An outrage! No secret is made of the fact that a hefty part of a Whinger’s theatrical outing involves civilized time spent in the bar before and after the performance. And during the interval if there is one. And during the show if drinks are permitted in the auditorium. But there ...

• Review – The Priory, Royal Court Theatre

  
  West End Whingers — Authority: 121
  New Year’s Eve: the night of the year everyone wants to have a good time but nobody does. Andrew is already preparing for his own unique celebrations by folding his Winceyette jim-jams, tucking them under his pillow and fretting about whether he will have cocoa or Horlicks. He will of course then, as ever, retire ...

• Review – The Making Of Moo, Orange Tree Theatre

  
  West End Whingers — Authority: 121
  With the Whingers’ stars so clearly in the ascendant (whatever that means) it seems only natural that the next development in their tale should be the formation of a West End Whingers religion complete with tax-free status and wine (although neither Whinger can get very excited about wafers, to be honest). So it ...

• STUPID QUOTE OF THE DAY

  
  My Blahg — Authority: 125

• Review – Sweet Charity, Menier Chocolate Factory

  
  West End Whingers — Authority: 121
  Regular readers of the Whingers’ comments sections may have noticed Sir Andrew Lloyds Credit Crunch complaint that “I pay you to WHINGE, not CRAWL.” Perhaps this will at least, in part, justify the regular charitable direct debit paid into the Whingers’ joint bank account ( Andrew to Phil – what bank ...

• Faithless director slips into star’s stilettos

  
  West End Whingers — Authority: 121
  News reaches the Whingers of a fabulous piece of emergency casting. Carola Stewart , the leading lady in Faithless Bitches currently playing at the Courtyard Theatre in Hoxton, has departed the show. According to a press release the pressure of the role was having a detrimental effect on her health. Stepping ...

• Review – A Man Of No Importance, Union Theatre

  
  West End Whingers — Authority: 121
  Phil couldn’t make this one. He claimed he was off to a thanksgiving dinner but it was Andrew who was most thankful. For Phil may have found himself on the horns of a terrible dilemma here. On the one hand he would have been thrilled with the food on stage: a spaghetti meal and a dance number involving strings of ...

• Theatremonkey: A Guide to London’s West End

  
  West End Whingers — Authority: 121
  Strangely no publisher has ever approached the Whingers with a lucrative book deal but we do not bear a grudge even when mysterious primates achieve literary success. For at least an hour around noon on 13th November Theatremonkey: A Guide to London’s West End was apparently the 494th best selling book at ...

• Everybody needs his memories. They keep the wolf of insignificance from the door.

  
  This will hurt me... — Authority: 136
  I often bemoan young people today: their ridiculous haircuts, preposterous clothes, inane banter, poor social skills, inadequate manners, reprehensible idols, embrace of stupidity and lack of historical knowledge, as well as being younger than me disrespect of their elders and betters. On one level though, they ...

• Review – Public Property, Trafalgar Studios

  
  West End Whingers — Authority: 121
  A person whose life is spent hovering on the edges of the business of show and whose own name occasionally appears on the sides of buses (and who really should know better) recently, and in all seriousness, asked a Whinger “Do you have a PR?” How we chortled. The Whingers may be getting a little grand these days ...

• Review – Nation by Terry Pratchett via Mark Ravenhill, National Theatre

  
  West End Whingers — Authority: 121
  It was all very strange. There the Whingers were at a preview of Mark Ravenhill ’s adaptation of Terry Pratchett ’s Nation at the National Theatre last night when who should turn up? Why, nobody they knew! Not only on the level of the individual but – largely – in a generic sense too. Yes, there was a ...

• Review – The Habit of Art by Alan Bennett, National Theatre

  
  West End Whingers — Authority: 121
  Poetry not really being his thing, Phil had never, to his knowledge, read any W H Auden . Until last night, that is, when he read one of the celebrated poet’s works in the programme for Alan Bennett ’s new play the The Habit of Art . He’s none the wiser about the poem, poetry or Auden. Andrew, on the ...

• Review – Fascinating Aida, Greenwich Theatre

  
  West End Whingers — Authority: 121
  Ok, so the Whingers may be slightly less than mildly famous for declaring their lack of interest in most things, so now is the time to declare an interest for once. The Whingers know Adèle Anderson . Got that? Yes, poor thing. She has even displayed extraordinary compassion by turning up at all of the West End ...

• Review – Mrs Klein, Almeida Theatre

  
  West End Whingers — Authority: 121
  Dear Andrew, Where are you? You don’t call, you don’t write, you don’t Twitter, have you turned into Stephen Fry ? And you keep sending me off to see things on my own, it’s all rather disquieting. I heard rumours you were spotted in Coventry earlier this week. I can quite categorically state it wasn’t me ...
