Great venue but to be honest the chairs are very uncomfortable and pushed so close together it's near impossible to get out of your seat if needed once the aisle is full.

Layout is very confusing. Looks almost like the building hasn't finished being made

Worse place in the world for covid testing. 4 hr queue. Had to give up due to overheating of the body.

It's a good venue so long as you don't sit in the very front of the stage. The seats are set directly behind each other instead of staggering them like cinema seating, consequently it's impossible to see over the head of the person in front of you. A bit like attending a radio performance..... not good! However the tiered seating & the mezzanine levels are excellent viewing. Remember to take a small cushion as the seats are hard on your tushie.

Was lucky enough to visit The J for a great comedy festival with an outstanding array of comics. The venue looks great and very spacious. The bar at half time does get really packed and do expect a queue. However the whole vibe of the venue is chilled and welcoming.
