My understanding is the "local" shows (London, Birmingham, Dublin*) have a different script (if you will) from the ones on the tour. You're right that it would be a bit of an issue, though, performing the same show up to four times a day for a long weekend (Thursday - Sunday).
* At this year's (2009) Dublin show, they played car football (Ireland vs. France) specifically for them as Ireland didn't make the World Cup. London and Birmingham didn't have it.
The London and Birmingham shows definitely have a different script from Oz and New Zealand. I saw the show everyday in Birmingham and they seemed totally on form for the whole run which is amazing given the amount of booze they got through in the bar of an evening.
