Weekend Two

This weekend has been a busy one. On Saturday both Tight Tens and First World Problems were packed with vast numbers of people standing at the back. In both cases this did lead to some people drifting in and out of the shows but overall they went well. It's not that often we perform to numbers topping seventy but we'd happily do it again.

Sunday hasn't been quite as busy but all seats have been taken once again (the empty seat in this photo was taken soon after I promise) and the easier going nature of those in attendance was in many ways easier to deal with. 

We have pretty much stopped flyering for the while as the room fills regardless and with FWP in particular we find it fills with the right kind of people who've done their research and know what they're letting themselves in for. Flyering certainly has a place and I'm sure I'll be eating my words by Wednesday but what seems to matter most is the copy in the brochure (and free fringe books) and location. CotTT is an ideal early show with a family friendly vibe whilst FWP is music based unlike 99% of the other comedy on offer. We've now made back over £1,000 via the donations bucket - though this sounds less impressive when it has to be acknowledged we started our run £3k in debt and have spent most of the bucket on food and drink....
