The Stage

Adlibbing comedy

Published Tuesday 2 February 2010 at 11:45

Liverpool-based rental company ADLIB has supplied lighting, AV and PA to the latest UK tour by comedian Jimmy Carr.

The lighting rig was designed and is operated by ADLIB’s Tim Spilman and the set up features a front truss with eight Martin Professional MAC 250 wash lights, with three 90 degree ETC Source Four profiles on side booms each side of the thrust stage for downstage side illumination. There are six floor PARs, fitted with front filters to eliminate facial shadows. A black back curtain is up-lit with another five floor PARs. There are three main performance positions - centre stage, sofa stage right and table stage right - each of which is lit with two profiles and two floor cans. Spilman programmed and operates the show on a Hog 3 console. Video was coordinated by ADLIB’s Tristan Bryant and features two 12’ x 9’ Stumpfl side of stage screens, each fed with a Sanyo XP200 projector. Two Sony D50 cameras are positioned at FOH and to the side of the venue and feed into a Panasonic MX70 vision mixer with Datavision Preview monitors. The show is mixed by Iain Christie.
