Ok, I was rubbish yesterday and didn't post. Combination of getting hair cut, getting back later than expected and having severe ankle pain caused me not to blog. Anyway, to make up for it, I'll do a double post today. First, I'll talk about one of my favourite venues.
The Hen and Chickens is a small pub theatre in Islington. The feel of the pub is comfortable and although it can get busy, it is not as insane as other pubs. The prices of the drinks are ok considering it is a London independent pub.
Theatre itself is a common venue for Edinburgh previews, as it is quite small, 54 people maximum. Frankie Boyle regularly practises his new material there for example. I have been there three times and love it. It is such a comfortable venue and staff are very friendly. The box office guy recognises me and my sister the last time we were there. The general audience that attends are also interesting. I have only seen magic there, and it is so funny the reaction of people to the tricks. I am seeing Barry and Stuart's new show there next and I cannot wait to see how people deal with the darkness of it all.
I'll do another post later
