The Queen and the Jester
The Queen is troubled and searching for a solution in story, so she calls upon the Royal Court Jester to cheer her with some songs. However, the Royal Court Jester is a law unto himself and knows better than to pander to the Queen's fickle fancies. Join him in his attempt to pacify her Highness, whilst amusing the Royal Subjects, pleasing himself and ultimately striving to keep his head intact! Expect rousing choruses, skew-whiff stories and a shedload of laughter.
"This Show will see you laugh so much, your stomach hurts." Charles Tryer
"Keith could make sheep laugh." Jasper Carrot
