Gilded Balloon at the Museum

The entrance to the venue is across the road from George Square. Be careful as you approach as the steps surprised me but there is a ramp leading down to the entrance. As soon as we entered the venue, despite how busy it was, a member of staff approached us and guided us to our seats. The accessible seating is at the front left, just far enough away to avoid being picked for audience participation! The view is brilliant though. The accessible toilet was a decent size, I could do at least one doughnut in my powerchair.

Having been at the Gilded Balloon at the Museum to see it before I knew where it was. Upon arrival at the venue the staff showed me and my carer to a waiting area in the foyer. However, they did say that we were going to be seated first because of my chair but actually they didn't seat us first, they let the other audience members in first. With the venue being small and intimate it was quite difficult to manoeuvre my wheelchair because I was right by the stage. Having said that, because it is part of the museum we had a very very good effort to accommodate people with disabilities. They were very welcoming and attentive. The show was hilarious. At stages it was like Lee's communication aid got 'stuck' and the BSL interpreter guy had to keep repeating himself which was quite entertaining to watch! For someone that can't speak - his comedic timing and jokes were so on point it just topped it. I was very lucky to have my photo snapped with him afterwards as well.
