BEHIND THE SCENES

Steven Arnold & Kathryn Chambers

    ONLINE TRAILBLAZERS

    The Northern Comedy Theatre has established itself as a trailblazer in the field of online theatre. With the closure of theatres in March 2020, they quickly moved their work online, exploiting the online platform, ZOOM. Collaborating with writer, David Spicer they have  streamed 10 productions, each one especially written for this new medium and each one pushing the boundaries of what was possible.


    Their work has been recognised with six ONCOMM awards and a special ONE OFF award from OffWestEnd, to recognise their contribution and achievements in online theatre. They were cited as one of 2020's ONLINE INSPIRERS by Reviewer Number 9 and were included in 2nd From Bottom's '20 From 2020' of things that amused, inspired, moved and delighted.


    “It is hard to think of another company or venue which has done so much in such a short space of time or has provided as much fun in the process” - Off West End


    “Northern Comedy Theatre re-framed 2020 so the audience could perceive the funnier and the lighter side, because we all need the gift of comedy” - Reviewer Number 9


    "For sheer productivity it’s hard to beat this young company”
