Frome venues reopen for live entertainment
The easing of restrictions this week sees the long-awaited reopening of many of Frome’s entertainment venues. The Cheese & Grain, Merlin Theatre, Westway Cinema and 23 Bath Street are looking forward to welcoming you back with a weekend of music, comedy and film.
Pop-Up Comedy are joining forces with the Merlin Theatre to celebrate its reopening weekend with an afternoon show for the whole family and evening entertainment for over 16s.
Both events will be hosted by award-winning comedian Jarred Christmas and world-renowned beatboxer Hobbit.
In the afternoon the two will present the interactive Mighty Kids Beatbox Comedy Show at the ECOS amphitheatre. Learn some beatbox basics, make mind-blowing music and laugh your way through whatever the weather throws at you.
In the evening the pair will be indoors and joined by Jarlath Regan – Irish comedian, writer and host of award-winning podcast Irishman Abroad, plus Bristol rising comedy star Abi Clarke.
The Cheese & Grain are welcoming music lovers back this week with a series of socially distanced, seated gigs. Levellers frontman Mark Chadwick will be performing tonight (Thursday 20th May), followed by Henge on Friday, with lead singer of The Subways, Billy Lunn taking the stage on Saturday.
