I went with a few friends and while it was nice to hear him speak, I don't think it was particularly brilliant. It didn't seem well targeted at the sort of people who are willing to pay $40 to hear him. It would have been nice to have had something more topical, even perhaps topical and about the country where he was speaking.
For example, in the week before I went to see him I was reading in the Australian newspapers about the new South Australian curriculum which blocked the teaching of creationism in science classes.
So my suggestion for Richard (for what it is worth) is to be a little more off the cuff. A little more informal and to have slightly fresher material.
