Children's Parties

Two of our younger actors are well equipped to take on a group of noisy kids. Organised entertainers with great costumes, guitars and heaps of bounce, they will give children of all ages hours of fun involving theatre and party games.

Themes include "Prince and Princess" "Peter Pan and Tinkerbell" and "Pirates”.

N.B. Suggested ages are from 3 to 7, and 8 to 12, in groups of 12 to 30 children.

 This is a high energy interactive show incorporating all the spirit of the original John Cleese classic. Three actors take on the roles of Manuel, Sybil and Basil, engaging the audience for two and a half hours of hilarity and mayhem. Various gags are used throughout the evening while the guests enjoy a three course meal. WARNING! Don’t get too dressy, as things can get messy!

 The evening begins with the discovery of "a body" as the guests congregate around the bar over a quiet drink. They are then led into the dining room as Inspector Horace Hound and his able assistant PC Plod invite them to assist in solving the dastardly crime which they have just witnessed. Various clues have been hidden around the building which they have fun discovering.
Over the course of the evening further clues are uncovered as they are encouraged and cajoled by our two incomparable members of the local constabulary to reveal the true murderer. Inevitably a number of "red herrings" are placed in the path of the guests, as they attempt to enjoy a three course meal, while imbibing lashings of wine and maintaining sufficient brain cells to solve the ultimate crime!

This is the perfect opportunity for guests to dress up as outrageously as their inhibitions will allow. Three actors take on roles from this cult classic of the 1970s. Such favourites as Frank'n'furter, Riff Raff and Magenta. In true camp style they strut their wares around the audience. Familiar songs from the show are played and acted out throughout the evening. Guests are encouraged to compete to find the perfect Brad and Janet as well as Frankie's creation Rocky.

Three actors bring this BBC TV Classic to life as the characters in Renés Cafe somewhere in wartime France.
Listen very carefully, as I will say this only once….Guests are given small roles to play as German, French and English characters. For 2-3 hours they are transported to Renés Cafe. Their role for the evening is to ensure that the painting of the "Madonna with the big boobies" does not fall into German hands, or more specifically, the hands of Herr Flik!
A terrific opportunity to bring the evening and ‘Allo ‘Allo to life.

Dress up with a bit of glamour as your favourite film star, celebrity, rock star, etc and pretend that you're at a night at the Oscars. Let Huge Parts and Meryl Streak entertain you as your presenters for the evening.
'Volunteers' will be encouraged to take part in 'Best movie', 'best actor', 'best supporting actress' etc and vote on who the winner is for the evening.
The evening is a lot of fun and audience participation is actively encouraged by your key presenters Huge and Meryl, plus their erstwhile alter egos Pierre Le Puke, famous French actor, and Rex Powers, fading wannabe Oscar winner.

'Do I make you horny baby?!' Transport yourself to the swinging 60s and 70s as Austin and his gorgeous Bond babes entertain you for the evening. This is not a show for the faint hearted. Instead, it is for those who want to be shocked a little and be just a tad outrageous, at least for a couple of hours or so. Bring along your dancing shoes as Austin and his luscious assistances get you swinging to some great songs of a bygone era.
