Winter comedy Festival- Friday Early- Nina Gilligan

Robyn and Steve great. Change of venue with very little notice to a freezing outdoor space. No tickets checked going in. Compare completely misread the room resulting in an innocent punter who he’d made part of the act getting bullied during gig and a kicking from the same punter whilst still in the venue( not sure this group had paid to attend) no security to stop it. We go to a lot of comedy gigs very excited for this as very local won’t ever go to these gigs again .

Transfer to the Butcher’s Arms from the previous location at Rhiwbina Social Club was without rationality. A draughty, cold and uncomfortable fire risk which spoiled the entertainment.

The venue was totally unsuitable for the show, it was hard to enjoy with it being so cold and we left half way through. It was a shame because it was a good show, but probably would have been better if we knew we needed to dress for being outdoors. I think everyone around us was surprised at the venues conditions, and the fact gas heaters weren't checked for gas before we arrived! The infra red lights on the one side didn't work for most of the show, it really spoilt it.

Venue was cold wet and windy. Glad i took a thick coat. Don’t suppose it could be helped but some warning so people could dress appropriately might have improved the situation for some. It was a great atmosphere except when a fight broke out at the end. Perhaps a bouncer should of been there to control the situation rather than leaving guests trying to sort drunken bullies out.
