About this show
Glorious, inventive, late-night knees-up! A resplendent ceremony in an air-conditioned room! More than two magnificent hours of ridiculous displays of comedic enterprise, dancing and frolicking. All guided by Mister Thom Tuck - 'fruity, befuddled and increasingly melancholy' (Guardian) - before onward carriages at your own discretion. All thirteen performances will be precisely unique. Permitted heckles! Delightful atmosphere! Umpteen guests, engaged in edifying experimentation! Noble failure, guaranteed. Come by! To this 'unlikely' (Times) 'adventurous' (Telegraph) 'weird' (Harry Hill) 'night' (Chortle.co.uk) of * (One4Review.co.uk) 'chaos' (Scotsman).
