Hello Cardiff


Hello Cardiff.

 Tin Shed Theatre Co. are currently building a pop-up theatre venue in the upstairs of The Project Space (Twitter: @Project_Space_) for our event TRASH (Twitter: @Trash_Newport) for ComedyPort (Twitter: @PortComedyFest) and it is looking awesome!



 For the past 2 years we have hosted and event called LaunchPad by securing Arts Council Wales funding, and we have had an awesome time building and running these venues which open their doors and their stage floors to anyone who considers their work funny and wants an opportunity to try it out in front of a live audience. Every year the event grows, the audiences get bigger, and we have an absolutely awesome party.

 This year, we present: TRASH, a cheap, hand-made, home-made, recycled antidote to LaunchPad. Built for free out of donated, recycled, or reclaimed materials to host events, throw parties, perform, explore, meet, laugh, drink and talk.

 We love hosting these events, because we can open the doors for free, which means audiences pay only for what they drink and eat. This is something we feel strongly about promoting in Newport and we hope people view it as a small crusty jewell in Newport's Annual Art Offerings.



 But here's the thing. Rarely do we ever provoke attendance from Cardiff based folk, and in no way is this me saying I don't love our home-grown Newport audience, but we feel the event we host is rich and different and is a damn good time, and is representative of loads of stuff that happens in Newport that'd rarely attended by 'OutSiders'. We'd love to share what we do with the larger South Wales Community.

 So, this is an invitation to you, Cardiff, and Swansea, and Bristol and Timbucktoo. We ask you to spend £5 on your trains, and have even got you seem train times to plan your departure homeward after our event on Saturday the 11th. Because as we say, No Train, No Gain.

Won't you come and play in Newport?

Here's some more of whats going on over the coming week:
