"The best meditation I have ever done." - Buddhist Monk in TrainingTHE VOID is comedy show about meditation and spiritual enlightenment. Using the humour and irony of bouffon and clowning, the piece pokes fun at new age spirituality and the hypocrisy that exists within it. Staring three ultra-conscious, badass, women this is a comedy show like no other. Annie Lockerbie Newton (Canada/France), Tone Nyb (Norway) and Charlotte OReilly (Ireland), the creators and producers of THE VOID, are an internationally diverse team wherein each member brings a plethora of skills and expertise. The show premiered in November 2023 with one of the highest number of ticket sales at the Norway Clown Festival in Oslo. Theatre Amok is a physical theatre company founded at cole Internationale de Thtre Jacques Lecoq in 2022. Blending in the theatrical mediums of clowning, bouffon and theatre of the absurd, our intention is to explore the human experience with curiosity and demonstrate the absurdity in our everyday lives and societal structures.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
