Dynamic Pricing
ARC’s policy is to set ticket prices based on demand, like budget airlines, which means we set a price when the event goes on sale and then sometimes put the price up or down depending on how the show is selling. Usually, the price will increase as we get closer to the event, so it is advantageous to book in advance, although sometimes we will put special offers on and reduce the price. Our website will always show the current ticket price.
ARC’s theatre and dance performances are priced on a Pay What You Decide basis, which means you don’t have to pay until after you have seen a show!
We want to encourage more people to come and see shows at ARC, more often. Pay What You Decide not only allows you to pay what you can afford, rather than a fixed ticket price, but also removes the financial risk of buying a ticket for a show in advance without knowing whether you are going to enjoy it or not.
Tickets are available to book in advance as usual, but there is no obligation for you to pay until after you have seen the show. You can then decide on a price which you think is suitable based on your experience, which means if you haven’t enjoyed it at all, you don’t have to pay anything.
All money collected will help ARC pay the artists who have performed, and we therefore hope you will give generously.
Please ensure you have arrived and collected your tickets 15 minutes before the show starts in order to secure your seats. At the end of the show, you can decide what to pay, either by cash on the door or by card at the Box Office.

The last Friday of every month means one thing for Teesside comedy fans – Catch 22. After a string of sell-out shows, the comedy club is back with yet more of the circuit’s leading comics and familiar TV faces.
Catch 22 regular and leading MC Danny Mcloughlin heads up hosting duties for this April’s foolery and is in very good company alongside Jeff Innocent and Gareth Richards.
Danny Mcloughlin’s innate comic timing and confident stage presence combined with a finely tuned ability to react and think his feet make for a winning comic recipe. This combination means Danny is widely regarded as one of the best MCs on the circuit and a regular compere for the coveted Edinburgh Comedy Award Galas.
He’s been hand-picked by comedy heavyweights Sean Lock, Micky Flanagan & Sarah Millican, to name a few, as support for their touring shows. You might have also spotted him on Dave’s One Night Stand or BBC2’s Premier League Show.
There are numerous ways to describe actor, stand-up, writer and Best Club Comedian of the Year 2016 Jeff innocent. These include ‘philosophical geezer’, ‘cockney philosopher’, ‘body of a nightclub bouncer and the brains of a university boffin’ – you get the picture, right? Jeff has to be seen (and heard) to be believed. At first glance, you might think he’s a character plucked straight out of a Guy Ritchie film – but his stand-up and cultural comment delve much deeper than his hard-man, cockney exterior.
“He commands the room, hits strong gags with confidence and style and has the audience bending to his every whim.” – Chortle
Gareth Richards has appeared on Russell Howard’s Good News, Live at the Electric and has performed live on Radio 1 on two occasions. He also co-hosted Frank Skinner’s Sony award-winning Absolute Radio show for two years and supported Frank on his 2014 tour.
As harmonious as he is hilarious, you can expect a musical number or two. Gareth often serenades his audiences with a trusty ‘weird electronic instrument from the early noughties’ aka his QChord.
Gareth Richards: ‘An effortlessly assured act… exceptionally inspired and truly memorable.’ – Chortle
