Metroland is a comedy group known for absurd, acerbic characters delivered with a smattering of Geordie charm. Their show at the Jack Dome is built around the idea of a shared television-watching experience — a genuine hour of programmed entertainment that brings people together in the way that gathering round the telly used to. Expect sharply surreal writing and characters that feel both ridiculous and oddly recognisable. The show runs for 60 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 14 and over. Content warning: strong language and swearing.
Why see this show?
If you miss the days when watching television was a shared event, Metroland has built an entire hour around that feeling. The writing is absurd and acerbic, the characters are painted with Geordie charm, and the whole thing is described as 'definitely not a simulation'.
