Takeaway on Tour

Last night my boyfriend and I took our first trip to the Hydro to see Ant and Dec's Takeaway on Tour. We went with fairly high enjoyment expectations (lets face it, who doesn't enjoy Ant and Dec?!) but I think we were both surprised by how much fun we had. It was the perfect kind of night to give us a break in the middle of a long and boring week.

We parked at the Glasgow Science Centre and walked over the bridge as I didn't fancy the hassle of getting out of the Hydro carpark after the show. I recommend this if you're ever going to something over at the Hydro or SECC- it saves so much stress after a show and is cheaper too. Plus you get to enjoy the scenery on the walk over, although I know from experience that if it's a horrible day it is a miserable (and very cold!) walk. Even so, it only takes five minutes so I think it's worth it. As you can see from the pictures, last night was gorgeous and we thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful views over the River Clyde :)

From the outside you can tell the Hydro is pretty big, but it isn't until you get to your seat and look up that you realise just how big! I don't have a fear of heights, but I think even the bravest person would feel a bit wobbly at the top seating section looking down. They even have escalators taking you up to that  section because there would be a ridiculous number of stairs involved!

Vertigo sufferers beware!

I don't want to give too much of the show away as the tour is only half-way through at the moment, but just think of it as an extra long version of the TV show, with all the best bits- Win the Ads (a member of the audience is randomly selected for this!), Ant vs Dec, I'm a Celebrity Get Out of Me Ear as well as performances from special guests, Joey Essex in the DJ booth, and lots of audience participation! Ant and Dec were on top form; you can really tell that they are up there having the time of their lives, and I think that's why they are so loved. 

 Let's get ready to rrrrrumble!

Ant vs Dec

Told you there was audience participation!

 If you're going to the tour, you'll love it! And if there is anyone that wanted to buy tickets, but was hesitant about spending the money for something you can get from TV, I'd say put those doubts aside if there are any future tours. It was so much better than watching a screen because you're actually there in the moment, contibuting and seeing it all unfold, and there's nothing quite like that.

Are you going to the tour? Have you been? What did you think ?
