What Is ‘Heckling’ And Am I Allowed To Do It?!
We’re SO glad you asked. If the comedian hasn’t asked you a question, any sort of yelling out, talking amongst yourselves or distracting behaviour during the performance is considered ‘heckling.’ It distracts the comedians and the other audience members (who also paid to watch the show, just like you!) so please don’t do it. Putting on our serious hat for a minute – we may ask you to leave if you disrupt the performance.
Below is a quick flow chart to if you’re allowed to shout something out:
Did the comedian ask you a question?
- If ‘Yes’ then you can (and should) respond!
- If ‘No’ then you should not. It’s pretty easy when you get the hang of it.
I’m Coming With A Group, Can We Reserve Seats?
All our seating is unallocated and we advise large groups to come early if they want to sit together. We can’t guarantee large groups arriving late will be able to sit together. Soz x
What’s This I Hear About A Free Drink?!
The rumours are true! We offer a free drink (Single House Spirit & Mixer, small glass of House Wine White / Red / Rose, a can of Cider or Beer, or any soft drink) with all of our midweek show tickets. All we ask is that you sign up to our loyalty card scheme (It’s totally free & only takes 2 minutes to do)
What Is The Expected Behaviour Of The Audience?
We ask that all members of the audience respect the performers, other audience members and our staff. Management reserves the right to remove anyone who continually disrupts the show. We will not offer refunds to anyone who is asked to leave the venue.
For the enjoyment of all customers, while the show is in progress, there is strictly:
-
No talking or carrying on your own conversations.
-
No using mobile phones.
-
No heckling of the acts.
-
No behaviour that prevents others from enjoying the show.
We wish everyone a pleasant evening and hope that you enjoy the show.
