Been a couple of times to the comedy club at the Alhambra too - good acts and outstanding value. The Jongleurs night at St Georges was also top-notch. Parking is covenient at the NCP for Georges hall too. All in all it all amounts to a good night. And in Bradford: who'd have thought?

Myself will not be going as last time I found the seating so uncomforable, and from many seats they have restrictive view if all the stage area used.
