We spent a lovely afternoon at What Now?! at Baltic House yesterday, checking out the upstairs room ahead of the fringe and drinking Dandelion & Burdock. While we were there it chucked it down with rain, so we had to shelter inside the marquee that’s been put up for some upcoming comedy shows. Could we use it for the fringe? Yes!
So now we have two “rooms” at the same venue, meaning we can run twice as many shows. We’re waiting on confirmation on how many people we’ll be allowed to seat in each space, but it’ll still be twice as many as we first envisaged.
We’ll get some photos of the marquee in action this coming weekend, when Ribs has a gig there. The photo above is of the upstairs room.
