Overview

Absolutely cracking show -I was in tears of laughter and would heartily recommend people go see it. McEwan hall is a stunning piece of architecture and I was incredibly impressed with how accessible it was. Show was interactive and had a BSL interpreter on stage who was fantastic. Staff were really friendly and thoughtful, they walked me through how I would get into the building without steps, let me get in first to ensure I got seats that didn't require me to use stairs and gave me a chair at every wait point so that I never had to stand. The venue outside was just as beautiful and they had lots of different food and drink stalls for the festival. Lots of comedians and performers were wandering around outside engaging with the public and I can't wait to go back again next year!

Transport & Parking

Bus took us to basically just outside the venue. As it's in the city centre there are lots of buses that connect to it. I used the Skylink 300 which as long as you're not going to the airport only costs £1.70 and is about a 2 minute walk from the venue.

Access

To the room itself therew is normally only 2 steps and then further steps depending on how high you want to sit in the stands. I explained my needs to the staff and they got me a chair straightaway so I didn't have to stand and wait as there is normally about 20 minutes waiting time out side the venue and then they showed me the way up the ramp to avoid the steps. At the top of the ramp, the chair was waiting for me again and I got first admittance into the hall to chose the front row seats in my stand so that I didn't have to use any stairs there either. Incredibly beautiful and accessible building with lots of space. Other gripe I would have is there was a lose floorboard next to our seats which with lots of people walking over it shook our seats causing a flair in my chronic pain. Easily fixed though!

Didn't use the restroom but it was clearly labelled and visible.

Staff

Staff were on point. They were very thoughtful and when I explained I had accessibility needs, they told me all the different things they could do to help and made me feel like I wasn't a burden or bother. Would 100% go again in a heartbeat.
