Sussex Beacon to fundraise at ‘Round the Horne’ at Theatre Royal

The Apollo Theatre Company is about to embark on a national tour of Round the Horne, including one night at the Theatre Royal Brighton on January 31.

On the night, Tim Astley (the company’s founder) and the theatre will be supporting the Sussex Beacon with the charity doing bucket collections at the end of the show.

With its infamous movie spoofs and hilarious regular characters such as Julian & Sandy, Rambling Syd Rumpo and J. Peasemold Gruntfuttock, Round the Horne was a cultural phenomenon, regularly drawing up to 15 million listeners per week and making stars of Kenneth Horne, Kenneth Williams, Hugh Paddick and Betty Marsden.

Tim Astley said: “We are very pleased to be supporting the Sussex Beacon with this production.

Round the Horne is rightly still loved by the LGBTQ+ community, as well as by the British public as a whole and I hope our show serves as a fitting tribute to the brilliant work the original show did to help break down barriers.
