***FOR TICKETS*** https://www.seetickets.com/…/the-pictur edrome-north…/1190759
Brendon Burns
Noisy, manic and in-your-face comedian from Australia. This foul-mouthed antipodean is known as a masterly exponent of his art, intelligent and hilarious, railing against bigotry without preaching and taking the audience to the edge of their belief systems with his full on comedy routine. Brendon has appeared on The 11 O'clock Show and The Stand Up Show.
... Michael Legge
Michael is a stand up, writer, actor, compere, improviser, warm-up and won the 2009 Chortle Best Off Stage Contribution for his blog, and the 2012 Sony Silver award winner for the on going podcast Do The Right Thing. He co-presented the Absolute Radio Sunday show with Dave Gorman. Stand-up comedian with a cruel tongue that gets the rest of his body into trouble.
Evelyn Mok
Evelyn Mok is the best thing to come out of Sweden since… IKEA? A stand up comedian and actress born in Sweden to immigrant Chinese parents, with a father from Hong Kong and a chinese mother born and raised in Mumbai India, Mok challenges the pre-disposed norms of women in the spotlight with unapologetic style and sharp witted hilarity.
Deemed “The Swedish Amy Schumer” by Comedy Central, she tackles her observations on casual racism, the perils of modern femininity and needs must sex with her inimitable joke delivery.
Craig Campbell
Described by some as the Canadian Billy Connolly, Craig never fails to entertain. The wild man of Canadian comedy delivering in style and occasionally making up one third of The Dinks. His unique humour fuses together whimsical anecdotes with salty stories of sex, drugs and circumcision.
However, be warned, his laid-back manner and genuine warmth belie the true outrageous nature of his material. Still, his stoner philosophy and risque subjects have won him devoted fans worldwide.
He has supported Frankie Boyle and performed on Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow (BBC One), Russell Howard’s Good News (BBC Three).
Come down for food, drinks and laughs.
Doors 7.00pm - Showtime 8.30pm.

Great venue.Seen Noasis and 2 Tones over last couple of months and both brilliant nights.

User

Great venue, new to me but I am from out of the county. Nice atmosphere and staff. Really enthusiastic audience for the Smyths.

User

Great venue, never had a bad meal or bad service. The half price days are a really good deal. I would suggest that the Picturedrome stop letting people reserve tables on these days, just means a lot of empty tables and lost revenue.

User

Extremely Dan were out of this world! What a magical evening. The venue was great-wish we had one in Leeds.

User

Brilliant atmosphere great staff too, Door men we friendly and very helpful trying to get us a good view. Well done 👍

User

Attended colm reggae Lyons and the 2tones. What a combination. Great from start to finish

User

Went watch bon govi was excellent only down side didn't​ have no smooth bitter on tap just ale and lager but other that it was great really enjoyed it.was quick to get served and staff was very friendly...See you again soon to see another tribute band....

User

Watched a film with a drink and food. The food was good and half price. A bonus. Would have liked better seats as they were reserved.

User

Fab night seeing Pure Genius / Friendly and efficient staff .

User

Excellent place. Went there to a Rockabilly dance some years ago, loved it, and it is still good.

Staff were amiable, yet polite and professional. The food and drinks were duly ordered, to arrive at our table in a timely fashion. A perfectly presented platter, appeared before us. Good it was, too.

So, overall impression, of this, my latest incursion through Picturedrome's hallowed portals? Well worth the trip from Milton Keynes, to partake of the ambient atmosphere, good natured banter, super grub, drinks and coffee. As General Douglas MacArthur said, in 1942, I shall return.

User

"NOASIS"..good band, nice venue. Great atmosphere. Looking forward to coming back to see more bands later in the year.

User

Staff were lovely and the opportunity for a family afternoon enjoying a movie together was fab - the baby even slept! Won’t bother with food again though, the roast chicken was over cooked and dry, my dinner came smothered in gravy having asked for it to be separate and the Yorkshire pudding was cold and chewy. Will stick with a pint and some crisps!

User

Thought the re-re wind night would be good but it actually was a let down...Sort it out!!...

Bit of a let down at the rewind eve � not what I thought it would be

What a disappointing night. DJ’s laptop kept freezing. Sold out of Prosecco! For a night that is meant to be sold out, I am surprised at the lack of people!
