You can try to divide this into 2 selects:

First, select the last 10 entered show, this is simple.

Then, write a stored proc. Within, select for every show_type the 2 last
events.

Both results combine with UNION ALL.


I know, the hard part is the function. I havn't time at the moment to
write an example, we have guests...
