In June 2008 Komedia was awarded the lease of the Beau Nash Picture House in Bath, a Grade I-listed neo-classical cinema previously operated by Odeon and known as the Beau Nash Picture House. Following extensive refurbishment, the cinema was transformed into an auditorium and live arts venue designed by architects Stubbs Rich, who have since been awarded The National Constructing Excellence Award for the Heritage Project of the Year for the scheme. The development project won The Building Excellence Award for The Best Renovation of a Listed Building in the UK. The venue opened to the public on 13 November.
