House Rules

• Tickets will not be available on the door - please make sure you book in advance to avoid disappointment!
  
  
• Please do not visit us if you have any symptoms of Covid-19 (a high temperature, a new continuous cough, or loss or changes to your sense of smell or taste). If you or any member of your household develops symptoms of Covid-19 after booking tickets please contact us for a refund.

• This event will be hosted in the Main Gallery, where we have reconfigured our seating plan to allow for social distancing between seating bubbles and considerably reduced capacity.

• Seating bubbles will be able to accommodate groups up to 6 and are subject to availability. All seats in a bubble must be bought in one transaction. Social distancing between bubbles will be observed.

• Seating bubbles can only be made up of people in your own household or support bubble. We ask that you please only book tickets with people who you are living with or have formed a support bubble with.

• On arrival, each seating bubble will be allocated seats. If you have particular needs for your seats, we will try our best to accommodate any requests, but this may not always be possible - please send these in advance to info@thepoly.org.

• Audience members are required to wear face coverings (except for those who are medically exempt). Face coverings do not need to be worn while drinking.

• We are working in accordance with government guidelines and so these rules are subject to changes. We will send an email prior to the show with more information, but if you have any questions please contact us at info@thepoly.org and we'd be happy to help.

The show subsequently toured and was named a top show to see by publications including The Guardian, The Scotsman, The List, The Mirror and The Evening Standard. Lou returned to Edinburgh with Say Hello To Your New Step-Mummy which again was critically-acclaimed, completely sold out, and is now on Lou’s largest UK tour to date. She has also taken the show to LA and New York and will make her solo debut at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival with it in 2020.
