Captain Festus McBoyle and his motley crew have been successfully infecting audiences for over 7 years. Armed with a barrel of cheeky humour and a chest full of side-splitting songs, this Madcap Troupe is more fun than a squirrel up ya’ jumper!

The Captain is joined onstage by his beautiful wife Miss Lucy Drawers and strongman extraordinaire ‘The Great Ebenezer’ and together they offer a 1st class voyage into their weird and wonderful world.

Regularly compared to the likes of Monty Python and Spike Milligan, this clever Vaudeville ensemble is a must see. Flaunting definite Pantomime and Music Hall origins, they manage to transcend both age and culture with ease.

Family entertainment at its best ……… Musical comedy at its finest!

The Ultimate Rotten Family Entertainers!
