Big laughs will soon be on the bill at Tiverton Community Arts Theatre, with the announcement that Tiverton’s popular comedy club has signed up to use the theatre from 2013.
Comedy Hall will run 11 monthly shows at TCAT, and was previously based at the New Hall, operated by Tiverton Town Council.
The theatre is already proving a great arts resource in Tiverton, shown here on the right
Julian Morgan, Chairman of TCAT, said: “The increasing popularity of Comedy Hall together with a growing awareness of TCAT, Tiverton’s newest and largest performance venue, means that together we can accommodate bigger audiences and higher profile acts in our well-equipped theatre.
“With great plays, music, dance and now comedy, TCAT is proud to be offering an amazing variety of entertainment.”
Steve Lodge, who established Comedy Hall more than five years ago, said: “TCAT is a great room and will give us much more scope in bringing top acts to Devon.
“Firstly it offers much more capacity with 300 seats, as well as a state of the art sound and light system which has had considerable investment. But above all TCAT has a thirst to bring the arts to Mid Devon, as this is really important for us. We can work together to promote comedy and bring different and exciting acts to the region, running more effective promotions and working togeter to promote live entertainment.
“Already we can confirm we’ll host the finals of a major new act competition, the Last Minute Comedy Newcomer Awards, in May, and we’re talking to some major names in comedy who have expressed an interest in coming down to Devon this year. This is a very exciting time for us.”
The first Comedy Hall show of the year will be on February 4th, with a line-up yet to be confirmed. www.comedyhall.lan.
