8590/21509It was the big St Albans Roman Theatre gig tonight. What a thrill it was to perform in this space where 2000 years ago Romans were doing something vaguely similar.Stand up comedy traditionally goes best in a low-ceilinged room, but in this theatre the ceiling has always been the sky. I worried that intimacy and laughter might be lost, but even in the current dilapidated state of this once great theatre the space worked.
