The performance takes place on stage at the Hackney Empire, a venue that hosts concerts and shows in London. Stand-up of this kind is usually a single performer speaking to the room, with no interval needed for the material to land, so the atmosphere depends mainly on the comedian's delivery and the audience's response.
