Midnight Trade
If during this year’s comedy festival your funny bone is hurting after a night filled with laughter and you’re looking for a place to relax and unwind with a few drinks, then Midnight Trade is the place for you.
Tucked away deep within Trades Hall, this late night collaboration of comics delivers a performance that is always worth much more than the price of admission. The mishmash of styles ranges from burlesque, music and vaudeville to stand-up, characters and cabaret, guaranteeing that there is always something for everyone. A well-stocked bar, along with sparkling comedy routines and toe-tapping, head-bopping, hip-shaking music means that if you aren’t having a good night, you simply aren’t trying hard enough.
With the line-up changing from night to night, you never really know what you’re in for when you attend Midnight Trade. Any show that includes guests such as Eddie Perfect, The Drowsy Drivers, The 4 Noels, Birdmann, Captain Frodo, Geraldine Quinn, Austen Tayshus, Wilson Dixon, Tim Minchin, Queenie van der Zandt, Rebecca Macintosh, Duck Music and many, many more, has my stamp of approval.
Ensconced in an ambiance that one can only get from the infamous Trades Hall, Midnight Trade is the perfect show for those who like a little of everything, but don’t want to pay for it.
Midnight Trade is actually a different show each night, each show having a four week residency. Word is that the Four Noels’ Spelling Bee is fantastic (Tuesday nights) and we saw the Drowsy Driver’s performing the compilation album “1982 With A Bullet” (Fridays) the other night and it was sensational. They’re very talented and funny, even if they were slightly hindered by side two being not quite as much fun as side one… Cliff Richard, anyone?
Not to be picky, but this doesn’t really seem like a review as such, more like a blurb out of the program.
I thought this review was good! I am usually a town hall comedy goer and was kinda tempted by the free stuff out at trades but not sure if i should go. After reading this review i realised that it would be right up my alley.
