“Nominated for best themed night in the whole of the UK in 2020 (Chortle), TPC's culture of ensuring top but undervalued comics are paid for their craft has been respected and loved since launching in 2018.”
From: The People's Comedy

“It’s another day at the office…the shop...the factory…or maybe even that weird place you once worked. You know the one. With all of the romances, rivalries, politics and performance issues you’d expect, all made up on the spot in this improvised workplace comedy.”
From: Improv Double Bill: Beansville & H.E.L.E.N

“Orginally written for the composer Hampus Lindwall to perform at St Mary’s Church in Walthamstow, London in June 2019, this will be the first time the piece has been performed by Arkbro hersel in the UK. In Ellen's music, harmonic sound interacts with the acoustic architecture of the space, and changes in different ways when the listener is moving through the sound. Her chordal textures spread out like invisible sculptures — diamond formations for the listening mind.”
From: ELLEN ARKBRO

“On re-reading The Tempest in 2019, lead writer Jack Cooper drew inspiration from Caliban's utterance “Be not afeard, the isle is full of noises” as a point of departure for his free flowing compositional expanse. For Cooper, Caliban's longer passage 'summed up what I was thinking about at the time, from the nature of music, noise and silence, to the chaos and confusion that seemed impossible to navigate.'”
From: Modern Nature

“Although DJ Marcelle has been collecting music longer than most of us have been alive, she still feels like The Netherlands’ sweetheart. She’s an artist with a mischievous, rule-bending and almost ironic approach to her DJing, producing and radio hosting – cut with her trademark wit yet supported by an unquestionable amount of skill.”
From: DJ MARCELLE / NO HOME / JABU
