The Noise Next Door
I went to see a performance by The Noise Next Door on the 22nd of July 2017 at Deershed Festival 8 in Thirsk. It was an improvised, fast-paced and audience interactive comedy piece that was split into multiple sketches. I went to this event because I was already going to the festival as my mum was working there promoting Arts Award. I saw this performance in the planner and thought it would be a good idea to see it.
