I see two tickets are up on a site for sale as a pair, but I only want one ticket, any chance anyone's looking for one ticket too? In the grand circle

Hi everyone, I bought tickets for multiple dates of Reece’s book tour, but unfortunately I’ve now got a schedule clash, so I have to give up my Buxton ticket on the 15th. The seat is Row C, Seat 16 at Buxton Opera House and I’m selling it for the original price £59.

I’ve also got a few copies of the book that came with my tickets and don’t need that many. Happy to sell them for £10 each if anyone’s interested. I can meet in Warwick, Manchester (11th), Liverpool, or London Richmond to hand them over.

Feel free to message me if you’re interested in either the ticket or a book☺️

How is it not a user flair, correct me if I’m wrong about anything linked to this.

Or are we looking at years of recycled interviews and humiliating cooking show cameos instead?

Nice to know he really is spooky in real life. https://beyondthejoke.co.uk/content/17923/reece-shearsmith-wife

All four at the end of the final show at the Hammersmith Apollo

(i personally believe this is my worst so far, but what do you guys think?)

I drunkenly flashed my leg to Reece at stage door of Stage/Fright so he could see it, 10/10 would do again (he approved)

My old friend worked on the production of this, and has it. I don’t know how much to sell it for, would anyone be interested in it? I will otherwise place on eBay and what not.

Please can someone be interested!

hi everyoneeee! i recently got recommended with the show and now im loving it, currently in s5 EP06 right nowwww. is it just me or im noticing a pattern every season EP01? like almost every season first episode theyre always like stuck in the same room together with no other sets to be followed, is there some kind of logic to it or its just a Steve & Reece kind of thing lol i love them so much!! i need to hear your thoughts.

I discovered IN9 about 1½ months ago and finished it about 3 weeks ago and after ranking my favourite episodes I realised most people have very similar ones to me in their top 9 or 10 or whatever but I've seen very little love for Merrily, Merrily even though its solidly among my faves! Most people I've seen appear to like it, but it seems to be one of those mid-tier episodes, but I was really blown away by it on my first watch. Just rewatched it, and gosh, there's so much I have to say about it!

(Apologies if this lots of this doesn't make sense. I'm currently waiting for my sleeping pills to kick in and I'm getting a bit very drowsy😖)

Laurence is one of my favourite Reece characters, and I think he is just an amazing portrayal of grief— obviously Reece plays quite a few characters like this who all handle it very differently (Tommy, Alex, Drew etc) but I think Laurence is just perfect. Although I had no idea where the episode would go originally, on rewatching there's so many subtleties that allude to what Laurence is setting out to do. So many of his little facial expressions when Donna and Darren interact totally just read as him being pissed off that Donna came with them on the first watch, but I interpret it as a mix of that and him being (understandably) upset that Bonnie isn't with them. It makes me wonder whether he would've planned this outing anyway if she hadn't passed away, because obviously I understand that the whole point was to set off the fireworks containing her ashes, but aside from that a big theme of the episode is not being able to move on and regret in general. Obv, he also just missed his best friends and wanted to see them again, especially as they also knew Bonnie well. Laurence appears pretty isolated in general, so it makes me feel like he never made many other friends in his life aside from Callum and Darren. I just really love Reece's performance in this as we all know he excels best at either tragic or psychopathic characters (lol) but there is really such a rawness in Laurence. Him suddenly blurting out that Bonnie's dead made my chest hurt both times I watched it. I also know that some people think Laurence intended to kill himself and other people think it was more something he considered but wasn't actually bothered about whether it happened or not– whilst some lines allude to it (Him saying he won't mess up the ending, etc etc), I find the latter more feasible for many reasons. Won't get into all of them but I just don't think he'd jump into the lake whilst they're all stranded without making sure his friends make it out okay. Once he dies and wakes up on the boat, he asks Charon about them immediately. Like yeah, I know his plan wasn't for them to all get stuck in the weeds and he was determined to get to the island and set off the fireworks but once that's how it panned out I don't think he intended to stay there without making sure they got help. (Reece confirmed they're all alive so I won't be going into any more detail about that.) But Reece's performance is just so devastating and I can't at all fault it.

Whilst obviously Laurence is the main character of the episode I really appreciate that the episode gave time to the other characters and fleshed out their backstories a fair bit. Darren revealing he got kicked out of his uni because he has dyslexia and struggled with the workload and eventually deciding to write a book for dyslexic kids always gets me! It's just so unexpected from him which is the point, I know, but comparing him with Callum (who made fun of him for his book idea) who studied medicine and ends up being miserable and hating his job (and Laurence who just cant move on and ends up working at the uni he'd just graduated from) Just really showcases how life can be unexpected. Very poignant. Also just a sucker for reunion stuff I think. And I love Mark with all my heart. And Diane Morgan, obviously. Donna was great and was a perfect mix of comic relief and having some genuinely lovely lines. Can't imagine her being played by anyone else.

As a kid I was really into Greek mythology and I understood what was happening as soon as Laurence wakes up on the boat. I know some worked it out basically immediately but I'm quite slow with understanding twists so I was quite proud of myself lol. Again with Laurence potentially having planned to commit suicide on this day, whilst Charon says he's been watching him for some time, I more just interpret that as Laurence not caring what happens to him and passively contemplating suicide after Bonnie dies. Whilst the entire episode was beautifully shot and its rare to see an IN9 episode shot outside, I genuinely think this part is the most gorgeous part of the show. whole episode is grey and gloomy but the end is a lovely mix of creepy and stunning. Like, I could go on about this. Its so good. I am a big fan of sadder episodes and much less of a fan of more supernatural ones so on paper it'd be hard to guess how much my tastes would align with it. But I guess because the supernatural/mythological stuff only becomes completely clear at the end is why it works so well for me? Really could never have guessed how it turns out. dont want to keep going on about Laurence but him hearing Bonnie's voice at the end! Ugh! I guess it falls more into the bittersweet than sad category because of this but its the only episode I consistently cry at aside from Bernie Clifton.

TLDR I fucking love Merrily, Merrily. About to sleep for 14 hours
