TESTAMONIALS ​​​​​​​
"Our experience with the Hope Theatre has been nothing short of exceptional. Following a successful R&D, we were thrilled to be invited to participate in ‘Write Club.’ From the start, Laurel and Toby demonstrated a genuine, passionate investment in our work and our company's growth. Their unwavering support gave us the confidence to produce our best work. This foundation was so strong that we are delighted to be returning this year with our second production. The Hope is a rare gem—a legendary building led by kind, considerate people who truly foster new talent. We cannot recommend them highly enough."

"It’s hard to find a space that is as supportive as the Hope and a person who is as encouraging as Laurel. The Hope Theatre has been absolutely instrumental in my journey as a comedian. From the beginning of my career in comedy The Hope has held me whether that’s through supporting my WIPS before Fringe, being pivotal in my London transfers and even offering me the space to start my own comedy night where I got to pass on all the guidance The Hope has given me to other comedians building up their hour long shows.
Laurel and The Hope have supported me every step of the way. They’ve offered me not only a platform but also a belief in my voice as it developed. Their support is not just in offering a space to artists. Laurel has been been a voice of support, reassurance and guidance helping me navigate not only logistics but the creative process.
It’s rare to find a venue and a team that genuinely nurtures artists from the ground up and encourages them to take risks and try new things. I feel incredibly lucky to have had that in Laurel and The Hope."

“The Hope Theatre was a fantastic venue to put on my first solo show Top Shagger. The performance area is so intimate and was perfect for the type of show we were putting on. Laurel was so helpful and would try their best to accommodate any needs or requests we had. It’s such a great location and the staff in the pub downstairs are really friendly. I honestly had a blast putting it on and will definitely be using the Hope Theatre again!”
