Underground was founded in 2006 by then-teenagers Yaz Al-Shaater and Tom Crawshaw of Three’s Company, to bring more diverse work to their home town. They are joined by co-manager Alice de Cent and Technical Manager Dylan Howells, as well as a wider team of volunteers during the Fringe itself.
Underground has previously run venues in Oxford and produced events in London, Manchester and Edinburgh. Our mission is to bring live performance to as many people as possible, creating a venues that are affordable and welcoming for all artists and audiences.
