Adlib provided a comprehensive production package encompassing audio, lighting, video, and rigging for the Arena leg of renowned British comedian Romesh Ranganathan's "Hustle" UK stand-up tour, including two nights at The O2, and iconic London venue.

This collaboration marked Adlib’s first venture with Ranganathan while reuniting the Clockwork Production and Adlib teams, who were excited to hit the road again with Neil McDonald at the production helm. McDonald, a familiar face from past projects, spearheaded Adlib’s involvement. The production team also featured Grazio Abela as Tour Manager, Antonia Lambis as OTK Production Assistant, Dave McCalmont as Production & Promoter Rep, and Steve Pottinger as Stage Manager.

For lighting, Account Manager Elliot Tutt has worked with Ranganathan’s Lighting Designer, D. Reilly, to supply the specified lighting fixtures – these included Ayrton Khamsin and Bora as part of a flown rig, and Ayrton Cobra as part of a floor package.

For the backdrop, the LD specified Astera Titan Tubes, which were hung in front of the stage curtain on either side of the upstage LED wall.

The remaining lighting team included Lighting Technicians Peter Lea, Scott Sheerins, Elliott Michaels, Tom Kaye, who was also Crew Chief, and Lighting System Technician Mark Macgregor.

Senior Account Manager Dave Eldrige commented, “It’s been great to support Neil and his team on this run of shows. Being the sole supplier benefits our client base, as we can provide full production whilst also being the single point of contact for the touring team, with our Account Managers working together to deliver a product. Romesh’s tour continues around the world later this year, and we would like to thank Neil, Grazio, Antonia, and everyone at Off The Kerb for another great tour.”
