For children over 6, their parents and anyone who likes comedy without the rude words, a show which might or might not discuss lollipop ladies, quantum chromatic disruption machines and tartan badgers.“James Campbell pioneered the idea of stand-up for children, and it is still genuinely impressive to watch him hold the attention of a theatre full of 6 to 11 year-olds for an hour with nothing but a microphone,” Stephanie Merritt, The Guardian.

Huff, puff and puppets! Al & Nicola’s new show is a little different to their previous Pirate Adventure and Gorrid The Horrid - it features handmade puppets (by Al) and children’s puppeteer Fran Malone from award-winning company Herringbone Arts. It’s the classic piggy tale in a great new format with excellent songs, lots of laughs and our original blend of fun, audience participation and cheeky storytelling. Dress the kids as their favourite animal to be part of the adventure. Passes the ‘excellent for grown-ups’ test too!
