Bumblina is Queen of the Bees. From the land of the Fairies, she has sent all of her loyal bee subjects out across the land to collect pollen and bring life and food to the world. See her perform mesmerising tricks with her magical ball of pollen: her very own bee dance. Do you have a bee dance of your own to show her?

The naughtiest, cheekiest fishermen you will ever meet on the street. They rove around proudly displaying their larger than life puppet fish looking for any opportunity for a joke and a laugh with the unsuspecting public. As soon as they have attracted attention the surprise is completed as the giant codfish burst into song and tell terrible fishy gags.

This walkabout is so surreal and funny that it will work in any situation, but is particularly suited to seaside or nautical events where some totally off the wall comedy is required.

Back in Georgian times we got our news from poetry. Before papers, broadcasts or the internet, ballad sellers would hawk their doggerel on street corners for a penny. Scandalous affairs, grisly crimes, and colourful characters were brought to life in rhyming verse long before first tabloid was printed.

Now Luke Wright has rewritten the very best of these stories for the modern ear: take a trip through the Drury Lane gin shops with the Boxing Baroness; filch oysters by the dozen with Dando, the celebrated gormandiser; and escape the Bull Ring with Jemmy the Rockman. Expect scandal, excess, and beautiful flawed humanity.

“His performances rumble with rage, passion and humour. They are also peppered with brilliantly smart observations. You will leave his show brimming with energy, heart pounding and brain whirring.” The Guardian

The true story of one woman’s mission to answer the question “can kindness
change the world? ” by carrying out an act of kindness for a total stranger every
day for 366 days. Involving cakes, compliments, phone boxes and Billy Bragg
teaching her how to play “The Milkman of Human Kindness” in a cupboard at the

All this plus a chance to win a million pounds (really)

David Mynne, veteran Cornish actor and a founder member of Kneehigh, in a one-man performance of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol.

Spend an evening with Ebenezer Scrooge: a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, clutching, covetous, old miser! Bah!

In their inimitable style, the team that brought you Great Expectations, Dracula and The Odyssey will now take you on a grim (sort of) journey through the dark, dismal streets of Victorian London.

Dickens’ original words with added silliness. Silliness? Bah!

Celebrate the festive season with a mesmerising one-man performance of Charles Dickens’ timeless, transformative story: A Christmas Carol. Bah!

Now with extra Humbug!

In this brand new show for 2021 the intrepid foursome are blasting off into outer space to meet a mysterious benefactor whose proposition seems a little too good to be true. But what happens when their lead violinist starts to act a little strangely?

The award winning, internationally acclaimed quartet – who seem to have taken ‘hands, face, space’ a little too literally – proudly present their new sci-fi horror musical comedy ‘Dracula in Space’ (WARNING: Contains scenes of graphic violins)
