BALLAD OF A LOST CAT AND OTHER STORIES...
An original one woman show featuring theatrical shenanigans and very funny songs! Written and performed by Jenny Lockyer
‘Ballad of a Lost Cat’ is a warm and welcoming world of surreal character comedy and witty guitar-based numbers inspired by The Goons and the Ealing Comedies. Original ditties such as, 'You Make Me Steal Things', 'What Have they Done With the Children?' and the eponymous 'Lost Cat', are interspersed with quick-fire comic characters, in a mix of nostalgia and contemporary satire. Imagine Noël Coward on Facebook, Joyce Grenfell in Aldi or Katherine Hepburn on the school run… This is a one-woman comedy musical revue with original songs, intrigue, and a little bit of opera!
‘Balls of fun'
A unique blend of comedy sketches, songs and spoken word.
Writer-performers Helen Rice and Sarah Carratt bring their offbeat lens to the everyday. Whether it’s incompetent pool attendants, creepy twins or excessively liberal-minded grannies, enter the world of Balls of Fun - a mix of comedy sketches and spoken word brought to you by two middle-aged women who really should know better. Combining humour with poignant observation, expect a melting pot of wordplay where the mundane marries with the absurd to produce a show unlike anything else.
