Pleasance @ The EICC

Everything went smoothly. It was easy to get to from the bus stop which was The Lyceum Theatre and about a 5-10 minute walk from there. The number 2 bus stops right outside it though. The choreography was really great, everything came together nicely. The venue was nice and spacious. It was almost like a nightclub area where they had hard floors and a stage built at the front and they had benches and seats with a back rest. The seats at the front were for those who wanted interaction. The actors picked people at the front row on the benches. There was a bed on stage. It was a great layout and the decorations and strobing was cool. Wouldn't recommend it for people with epilepsy however! It was like being in ATIK with the loud music and strobing lights which I loved. Lots of nudity too so probably not for those under 18! It was really great to have watched it as a film and then as a theatre. I would definitely go again, they're performing in October in Glasgow so I may get a group of people to go and see that. It's a laugh as well as having serious bits.

From the minute I came in the staff were really helpful and really nice, they stored my scooter for me and had a bit of banter with me. I made them aware that I might need to use the lift so one of the members of staff came and got us to take us on the lift. The foyer was really open but there was a lot going on. It was loud and busy and felt like sensory-overload. Once they opened the queue, we didn't have to wait. They sat us at the side, next to the queue, that was a little bit overwhelming because I felt like the people in the queue were looking at us. We were seated, next to the queue, right next to the door so we could hear how loud the previous performance was, and as people were leaving. When it came to the time to go in, they took us in first and let us choose where we wanted to sit and asked us if we needed anything. It was really nice. There were bits of the show where I jumped out of my skin because there were 'bangs' and flashing lights, but it didn't put me off the rest of the show, it was just because I wasn't expecting it. The show itself was really good, amazing. The part where the comedian was playing 'Angel' was my favourite bit. I enjoyed his use of props too. They were playing 90s music and made you feel like you were in The Bronze, it was so good. I was sad when it was over!

The foyer/ entrance and waiting area was far too loud. There were no safe spaces where you could go to calm down where it wasn't noisy. There wasn't a clear sign for a lift, I had to ask a staff member. However, once I got inside and sat down, the venue was fantastic, it was well-lit, the acoustics were fantastic, much better than in the foyer. The stage set was very pleasing to the eye. It wasn't too overcrowded. And the comedian was FANTASTIC.
