Proscenium arch
The Bloomsbury Theatre is spacious and welcoming theatre close to
London's West End with 535 comfortable seats, each with plenty of room to
stretch your legs and no pillars to block your view!
The Bloomsbury
Theatre was officially opened in 1968 as The Central Collegiate Building
Auditorium, this was soon changed to The Collegiate Theatre. It was renamed in 1982 as The
Bloomsbury Theatre to reflect its geographical location as well as the
artistic associations of the name.
With its relaxed atmosphere and stunning
auditorium the theatre has gained a reputation in a number of fields over its lifetime,
from small scale opera work to innovative stand-up comedy. It provided an early stage for
some of this country's greatest comedy talent including Lily Savage, Eddie Izzard, Jo
Brand, Jeremy Hardy, Mel & Sue, John Shuttleworth and Sooty! Recently top name
comedians such as Ricky Gervais, Jimmy Carr and Harry Hill have chosen the Bloomsbury
Theatre as a venue for their DVD recordings.
