  Good one; go past it every week at least once, and have never ever been in. Have you?

  I am originally from Heaton and High Heaton, and lived there for many years. I know the People’s Theatre from the outside, but like Dave can’t remember ever having been inside. I do know (or used to know) the inside of the Corner House, which is the building in the background of this photo :)

  lovely pic,

  i remember a big hole in the building where the blue “theatre” sign is on that picture, following (i believe) a gas explosion.

  and i remember a very young ross noble cutting his stand up teeth at a friend’s 18th party in the green room.

  I saw a few plays there in my student days but, like others, I was much more familiar with the inside of the Corner House. I would have loved to have seen Ross Noble in his early days. I think he is tremendous. Most modern stand-ups leave me cold but Ross is surreal. I have never seen him in the flesh but I was amazed that he could keep glued to my seat for two hours watching one of his DVD performances. He reckons it is all because Cramlington was such a boring a place to grow up in. I couldn’t possibly comment.
