Comedy night

Really enjoyed my experience at the forum. The staff are very friendly and accommodating, ensuring we found our seats. It was very easy to navigate the toilets, bar, shop etc with signs and staff on hand to also help if needed. You are greet at the door by a staff member who shows which guides you to the floor you will be situated on for your event. We enjoyed our experience at the forum and will definitely be back again, we are booked to see another show in April.
