Absolutely hilarious, I've never laughed so much!
Noel recorded some Moon sketches especially for it which were shown at the end of each section and to introduce them onto the stage.
Fielding and Brand did a warm-up by admitting they aren't goths and set about finding real ones in the audience and dressing some poor man called Steve as one!
Chris Addison performed, what I could hear of him was very funny, but he mumbled a lot.
Matt Holness performed as his alter-ego Merriman Wyre - an awful unrehearsed folk singer. Such a simple idea (him with a guitar, singing stupid songs) but it was absolutely hilarious.
We also got Fielding and Brand doing individual stand-up. Noel's blew Brand's out of the water with his unique surreal and ridiculous humour - a sketch about Punctuation Land was incredible, so detailed but still so funny. The whole audience was engaged in what he said so much, when he was whispering the whole Albert Hall was silent, holding on to his every word. Brilliant stuff!
I didn't realise that The Teenage Cancer Trust did a comedy night every year, so I will be looking out for it in 2008, it was well worth the money and a great night of comedy. Lots of cash raised for a great cause too, including £1000 for 2 spacehoppers that Fielding and Brand raced around the Hall!
