Show starts at 8:00pm but we'll be there from 6:00pm for you to arrive when you want. Plenty of time for all to catch-up / meet for the first time.

It's free entry, donations after if you can afford it (everything made goes back into the night / UCB.)

If you've got ANY COVID symptoms then please keep yourself at home. If you can take a test before that?d be grand too. We?ll have a few on hand too. Everyone's very good at not being all up in other people's space anyway, so of course we?ll continue to practice that.

We have our own car park, right outside the entrance (on Cicero Street, do not trust Satnav as that will take you to Texaco garage).

If anyone is nervous of navigating the walking route from Derker tram station for their first try, let us know and we'll arrange to come meet you. We'll add some route maps, too.

There?ll be a well stocked tuck shop with plenty of snacks and drinks, including tea, coffee and hot chocolate

If you want to drink booze bring your own. This is a safe space though, so if you're a drunken nightmare you will be asked to leave.
