Cottiers Theatre Glasgow

Reviews

   Experiencing my first pantomime at Cottiers was an absolute delight, made even better by the unique charm of the venue. The converted church setting provided an intimate, magical atmosphere that felt far more personal and "West End" than a massive commercial theater. The script was clever and fast-paced, but what truly elevated the afternoon was the energy brought by a large group of school children in the audience. Their pure, vocal excitement—from deafening boos for the villain to frantic warnings for the hero—was infectious and reminded me that panto is at its best when it’s high-energy and interactive. The production perfectly balanced "Glesga" humor with classic slapstick, ensuring there was plenty for the adults to laugh at while the kids were engaged. The cast utilized the intimate space brilliantly, making everyone in the room feel like part of the story. (I was the one selected) If you’re looking for a boutique panto experience that captures the true spirit of a Glasgow Christmas, Cottiers is a must-visit. It was a joyful, chaotic, and heartwarming introduction to a great tradition.

   Attended the Cottiers Christmas Carol Panto this afternoon. It was brilliant, a small cast, no props as such and only a couple of costume changes but such good fun. Beautiful venue. Some amazing singers and performances. Loved Fiona- Ghostie of Christmas future. Enjoyed a bite to eat next door before heading home.

   Went for a concert and found it to be a great venue. Service in the main bar was a bit hit and miss though. Sometimes only one person serving with quite a few waiting to get served. One girl was more concerned with polishing glasses. Other staff hiding in the back just mingling around. Once inside the concert hall the bar service was much improved. The act Frankie Mac was excellent. Much better than I expected.

   Fantastic food before going into the main venue which is an iconic little place to watch live bands. The staff were great and the toilets at the back of the venue were spotless. More importantly the stage is easily viewed from any seat and the sound and lighting were excellent.

   Went on Wednesday 7th December, to see a GAMTA production but had to queue outside for 30 minutes in -1 conditions and at 80 year's old, Not too happy. Obviously GAMTA need to sort out their way of distribution of tickets. Show was wonderful.

   Beautiful venue. I attended as a wedding supplier and found the staff to be incredibly helpful and though it isn't very disabled friendly being a very old building the staff were always ready with a smile and an offer of assistance. It truly was a magical day for the wedding party and I'd verdant recommend for a wedding or visit the bar and restaurant. Food was absolutely delicious and not too pricey
