We were dumb asses and left our tickets at home, two hours away, the Empire were brilliant and sorted it for us. I sat crying in Covent Garden when I realized what we'd done but I'm so glad we were able to see you. You were outstanding. more than outstanding, there's not a word to describe how great you were/are. Can't wait to see you again, don't wait too long It was so great to see you in the flesh, my husband and I have been enjoying your music for a long time.

Was great to see the songs again, and really liked the three part harmony stuff with Paul and Storm this time - songs like Creepy Doll just work so much better with all the parts, and Code Monkey just gets better with harmonies too. The misses was a little disappointed to not hear baby got back (esp. when you could have got P&S on the backing vocals) but personally I still love shopvac, so (as always) at least I got what I wanted ! And Mr Fancy Pants was really good; the chorus really filled the venue. Plus nice to see the re-use of the "what-ever-the-heck-it's-called-a-tron" on My Monkey. Want one ! Oh yeah, and dragged four random newbies along, and they all really enjoyed the show, despite being puzzled by cheezeburger and being randomly rickrolled, and have requested tickets for the next show. So - see you in 2009 ?! A triumphant return to the city of London !

I was worried that this one was becoming overhyped in my head - bought tickets the moment they went on sale, got a group of 12 together to come, was talking about it for months.. But you totally delivered and now I can't wait for the next show! Also, Paul and Storm totally rocked, thanks for introducing me to them - I've been playing their albums at work and giggling far too much for my manager's liking. Speaking of which, should probably go look busy... Thanks for coming Jonathan, hope you're throat is OK and keep coming back, we love it when you do!

Thank you so much for that show, it was fantastic! Paul and Storm were great as well! By the way, that piece of paper in the bottom right of that picture mentions "Jonathon Coulton". Silly Shepherd's Bush. Anyway, thank you for the awesome show. I will wear my T-Shirt with pride. Been a fan of you for years, and finally I got to see you in London!

I was the one who shouted "yay" when you announced you were gonna play Always The Moon... I was really hoping you'd play it because it one of my fave songs and got a little too excited when you did. That was the best gig I had ever been to! Seriously, and I've seen the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Foo Fighters, Pearl Jam, Sum 41 and Iron Maiden and none of those gigs hold a candle to yours. The set was absolutely amazing, you played all my fave songs and even my Mom was singing along. She was my ride, I know that sounds kinda bad, but we always go to gigs together and she walked out a fan of you and Paul and Storm. She has been officially JoCo'd. Come back soon! I will bring more people with me. Converting all my friends into JoCo fans. I am not your Mom!

Absolutely, brilliant and I hope you can come back soon. Paul and Storm were also absolutely excellent. Shame I had to go so soon, or I would have told you in person. Please release your new version of Fancy Pants, as I loved it. Aargh *Martyn* I was there and it was absolutely brillian, but what was the name of the instrument you used during My Monkey?

And, when I asked my fiance, who had only ever heard "Code Monkey" a couple of times, what was the best moment for him, he said, "That slightly odd but wonderful moon song." He was in stitches all night, despite having a really shitty week. I haven't seen him that happy in months. JoCo, it was the best gig of my life. Seriously. That night made my century. Thank you so much for coming all the way to England. xxx I didn’t notice a frog.

My girlfriend and I both really enjoyed the show and both said that your voice sounded really good in that venue, especially during Always the Moon. Thanks for coming all this way to put on a great show, hope you can come back some day.
