We’ve just finished our first performance at the ADC Theatre in Cambridge. It was a great audience and the largest house we’ll ever play for. (The capacity of our venue in Edinburgh is slightly less than half that of the ADC.)
The biggest we learned from this performance was about timing. Although we’d rehearsed a show that should fit perfectly into our 55-minute slot, we’d underestimated the amount of time we’d lose due to people laughing! Due to a wonderfully supportive audience, we ran about 15 minutes over. (Thank you, Cambridge!) We’ll have to stick to the time-table in Edinburgh or face large fines, so some tough decisions will have to be made about what to cut….
