    Seeing Ruby Wax in ‘Frazzled’

    Arrived slightly late and after a few minutes queuing we were escorted by a member of staff to an external lift which lowered us slowly into the building. Once inside friendly staff showed us to where we could sit, and as we were advised to come early we were able to sit in the front row where there was extra leg room. I needed to use the facilities several times and it was fully accessible and relatively easy to get to ( location in the foyer felt a bit strange and everyone gathering there kind of knew where I was going so I felt a bit self conscious ). Getting to the bar was a bit difficult as there was a narrow walkway to get through, but I kind of understood because the show was sold out and the venue was smaller than some I have been too. Ruby was amazing, warm and funny and I really enjoyed her set. There was also cake on offer which is always welcome! Great venue, accessible for wheel chair users but if you use a scooter or there are several of you I would call first to check about space as the venue is small and awkwardly shaped in places. All in all a great find - as who knew ... free and subsidised comedy in London. Forgot to ask about access for the visually impaired; but staff where friendly and welcoming and nothing seemed too much trouble - so don’t be afraid to ask for help.
