Weirdos Comedy and The Race for Space. 

Presented by Weirdos Comedy


What is the Weirdos Pantomime?
Everything you love about a Pantomime (cheering, booing, shouting ‘Oh yes it is!’) but with a giant cast of comedians performing a ridiculous surreal story with homemade props, barely remembered lines and just fun, fun, fun. All for charity. 
The audience are all part of the fun. Come in your most ridiculous Christmas jumpers, come in good spirits and help us make this the best night out ever. 
 
The story
A misfit gang of do-gooders are trying to save Christmas by building a rocket to take them to space, but they must get there before the mad billionaires get there. 
Who will win the race for space?
Will Christmas be saved?
How convincing will the cardboard robots be?

Ali Brice, Alwin Solanky, Andy Barr, Aniruddh Ojha, Bec Hill, Ben Alborough, Cerys Bradley Charlie Miller, Charlie Vero Martin, Helen Duff, Joz Norris, Kat Cade, Lucy Pearman, Mark Silcox, Marny Godden, Matthew Highton, Michael Brunström, Mikey Bligh-Smith, Olivia Deane, Pat Cahill, Sam Nicoresti, Suchandrika Chakrabarti
