ArtHouse was certainly the best house party I’ve been to in a while. Quite literally, all the performances take place in someone’s home – audience members essentially get to pick what they want to see from a multitude of 10 to 15-minute performances by comedians, actors, musicians and more. They can also opt to kick back in the living room, enjoy a beer and observe the mini-gallery of art on the walls, or the cupcakes and hand-knitted pasties for sale. Performers travel between the different rooms in the house and the living room, asking the audience to follow them to see a show. ArtHouse doesn’t even have a specific show time; doors open at 7:30pm, shows start at 8pm and the party doesn’t stop until midnight.
