The brainchild of collaborator Scott Maidment, the show takes place in a tiny theatre with an eight-strong cast.
It features raunchy dance acts, juggling acts, pillow fights, physical comedy, some acrobatics and the two funniest comperes I’ve ever seen in the

The show is booking until 6 July, with tickets from £25.
