The Fad Gallery is soliciting applications for comedy festival shows in 2008!
This year the venue was very successful- one show attracted nearly 1100 punters to its 16 nights and another sold out the majority of their performances. The venue is located at 14 corrs lane, chinatown, a few mins walk from the town hall, and this years rates were very fair. You can see the place at

I'm producing Ben Lomas' show at Fad next fest and the venue Owner, Johnny Halliday, has asked me to post this as there are two other timeslots available for 15 night runs- most likely the 8.30 and 9.30, or maybe 10.30, that he wants to fill. There are also a couple of hour slots available on wednesdays an sundays (and maybe mondays) for people interested in running a short 8ish show season.
The venue seats 50ish, depending on your set up, and is a separate space with its own bar. Mics, stands, P.A all supplied, as well as seating, good vibes and reputation as a cool place to have a beer (in the downstairs bar).
Johnny has asked that anyone interested send me a short show proposal (a couple of sentences is fine) so that I can forward them on to him and he can then make a decision.
This year the venue was a lot of fun and they are very supportive of the acts there and comedy in general.
Anyone who is interested can get in touch with me at
scottysteens@hotmail.com, and I can provide more details of expected costs etc.
