Yes - I saw him in Dublin, Olympia Theatre, May 1993. He was brilliant. There was a fat drunk moron kid a couple of rows in front of me who kept heckling, and Henry ignored him to begin with and then eventually just gave the guy this Look, and basically told him to sit down and shut up, and the entire crowd cheered and the fat kid heckled once more to save his pathetic ego and then shut up for the rest of the gig. It was inspiring.

One of the great things about Henry doing spoken word in Dublin is that he can be relied upon to say something incredibly insulting about U2, which always goes down well.
