A mysterious yet fantastical society of actors and comedians who all seem to live in Liverpool. No one is sure of their exact purpose or why they are called LUDS, yet they seem to set out in the world to entertain and educate the masses (or at least a good percentage of the student population). LUDS produces a lot of different types of entertainment live, which all seem to fall under the title 'thing'.

Joey: Me too.
Charlotte: Me too.
Maeve: I love Martin, I just wish he'd love me back the bastard, instead he just keeps chasing other girls and asking me for advice!
Joey: there there Maeve.
