What a dire line up.
Not much variety.
I feel sorry for the Royals having to endure this show.

Probably why the Queen stopped going some years ago and now sends Charles.

Shouldn't this tradition be scrapped? I mean there is a lack of interest from both parties and it's outdated.

Really Neil? Even when you have such comedy icons as Bernie "one-trick pony still getting away with his bloody ostrich routine after all these years" Clifton and David "so terminally unfunny I personally hammered the last nail into the coffin of the sketch show" Walliams?

Hang on, what am I saying?!?

We always look forward to it, sadly it doesn't seem to get as much promotion as it used to, if I hadn't seen this thread I wouldn't have been aware it's on this year !

I must admit I haven't watched a Royal Variety Performance in decades - but doesn't it still get huge ratings? There must be some interest in it.

Last year it got 5.31 million which in turn was 1.3 million down on 2014 (BARB figures) so it is in decline.
