We are a fully independent, not-for-profit venue - operating for the benefit of artists and audiences.
When buying tickets, please check that you've received them in advance of the gig - we can't always help if you email us on the day itself.
That's right we've moved venue and we've revamped the show.
Each month the first section will be teaming with fantastic stand up comedy talent hosted by a brilliant MC.
The second section will be 100% raw improv from The Discount Comedy Checkout and occasional guest performers.
If you've never seen improv before, you are in for a right treat.
All the games, scenarios, and situations are formed from your suggestions ... thats right YOU, the audience.
Its brilliant fun and tremendously funny!
"5 STARS! The comedy is creative and crude, quick and quirky, the performers commit completely to the games and create funny and fantastic characters at a moment's notice." - Remotegoat
"There's a wonderful slapstick nature to it all but they are all impressively literate in film culture and genres too, creating brilliant, quick draw pastiches of popular cinema that will have you in stitches." - Manchester's Finest
"Total fun and instantly engaging." - WHODARESGRINS.COM
