"It had a randomness of people trying stuff out and it felt like the audience were complicit in this experiment. We knew we weren't watching a polished expensive show but we were part of something more unknown and creative. It had an air of possibly failing badly, which felt more exciting." (Julian Fox)

"My participation in the  room has pushed me creatively and encouraged me to seek bolder, more nuanced, cross disciplinary and rebellious forms of expression that challenge majority of (sadly) generic performance nights in London. As an audience member at the room, I have seen a real variety of performances that often escape all classification. This is the level of diversity and inspiration I wish was more ubiquitous around London." (Margot Przymierska)

"A safe space for performers to try out new ideas or build upon existing ones. It was one of the very few nights that I have attended where ‘anything goes’ but felt cohesive in an eclectic way." (Lee Campbell)

"The evening allows artists to be experimental and take risks. The feeling of tolerance and acceptance at THE ROOM, heightened by touches of originality, absurdity and surrealism are a pure delight. What a refreshing atmosphere! Nothing is ever predictable or formulaic." (Melanie)

"For me it was a bit scary as I was reading something new and was put on first. But in the interval I sat down and found myself next to another performer, a poet, who gave me instant and encouraging feedback. I don't know of other events where this kind of thing could happen." (Jonathan)
