I am in two minds about this. While the show was excellent to see, and the stand up comedians at "the Palace, danbury", as we were repeatedly told were incredibly funny, can't say I am a fan of the theater itself. It seemed rather old and dilapidated. The theater/stage looked like it had been re-renovated to form half a stage. So we were at a weird angle viewing the stage somewhat askew. While it did not matter so much for a stand up comedic show, I am not so certain if I would enjoy watching anything else more demanding there like a play or something. I think I would actually need to see it for myself to be rid of my reservations.
The manager who introduced herself before the show, Caroline, was not very good either. Or seemed rather uninformed on one of her performers. While she was lauding the main show, she hardly had much to say about the opener, which seemed rather rude and sad and disrespectful. If I were manager, i would like to give both comics an equally warm welcome on behalf of the theater! Lol~!
So, as i have said on the outset, I am in two minds about the theater. While the act/show was good, the theater itself seemed to be very run down and seemed somewhat like it would be a potential fire hazard! The toilets too were inadequate for the crowd and the lines were LONG! But, thankfully, they gave everybody enough time to go which is a necessity. read more
