The Giant Misfit - Good comic, free show at The Counting Rooms then the most excellent fish and chips experienced for many a year.

I watched Ed Byrne and Andrew Maxwell last night. Both were superb. The support staff were great: enthusiastic and friendly, the seats were really comfortable, the sound was spot on and the view excellent. My only slight complaint was that it was roasting hot! Maybe invest in some air con? Otherwise, can't wait to be back at the weekend. #edfringe

I have seen a number of shows in this excellent venue and never been disappointed with the viewing and comfort it offers.

Fab venue - been here a few times. Agree with an earlier reviewer about the queueing 'system' which really is poor - but with experience comes tactics - when the call comes to go in, get your elbows out and charge for the door!!!

Reasonable sized seats but so hot as to be uncomfortable. Saw Ed Byrne but wanted the show to end quickly before I melted! This theatre needs air conditioning.
