Lou 0 Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Hi guys. Any idea where the Cornerhouse Hotel is?? I *think* it's down here the river.. umm.. ish? Is that right? Is it easy to find? I mean, I know the street it's on.... Stephenson Road.... but that means NOTHING to me, and I don't have a map... and I tried looking online for something that'd be helpful, but everything I found just confused me more. Because, yes, I am that useless. I need to go there on Friday.. my mate's got a gig on there. But that means I have to be able to find it!!!

Its five minutes on a bus from town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasepud 59 Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Any time miss Lou, is this a comedy gig? they mainly seem to do comedy on a Friday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou 0 Posted October 4, 2005 Author Share Posted October 4, 2005 It is indeed a comedy gig. A friend I met in Melbourne (who's English, he was just over for the comedy festival) is on there. He's got loads of gigs in Newcastle at the moment, which is good. Never actually seen him on stage before! But he's bloody funny to just chat to, so it looks good....

Smooth Operator 10 Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Don't mean to piss on your cornflakes Lou but the Corner House on the Coast Road was subject to an arson attack a few months back - Wacky Jnr a member of this forum is still helping police with their enquiries! So if this is the right place and your heading there soon you'll be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was only the front main room that was damanged in the attack, the back room is still open for gigs etc (as my original post stated...) oops edit: did originally state that in me post but then changed it before posting for some reason. cornflake check...hmm still dry though. tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou 0 Posted October 4, 2005 Author Share Posted October 4, 2005 Mr Pud - would be really cool to see you there. Hope you make it down I have a feeling that Silky is gonna be bloody funny.... Ahh... I wondered why it said that the room was still open for gigs and stuff on the site... now I know. As long as it doesn't burn down again when I'm in there, I'll be alright.

Tom_NUFC 0 Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 lou, Corner House is on the corner of the Coast Road and Stephenson road get the 365 or 366 from haymarket and ask for Corner House or the 38 from opposite the Odeon. Its five minutes on a bus from town. 43023[/snapback] The 305, 306, 307 and 308 from the Haymarket all go along there as well so there's plenty of buses from the town. You could also get the 1 (and I think the 2 and the 3 as well) which will drop you off on Heaton Road, although it's about a 5-10 minute walk along to the Corner House, where as all the others drop you off pretty much right outside. But it's another option I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou 0 Posted October 4, 2005 Author Share Posted October 4, 2005 Thanks Tom. I think I'll stick with the ones that drop me off right in front of it..... don't fancy getting lost the first time I go!! DAMN it's been a long time since I was at comedy...... a whole month!!!! Two days used to seem like a lifetime before....! Good job I don't have an obsessive personality, isn't it?

Smooth Operator 10 Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 You'd have more of a laugh in the bar at the Chillingham Arms, some of the locals are well and truly council! Or the Stags in Byker, but their regulars are mostly just scumbags rather than the type of folk who are amusing to simply observe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
