Buckets ‘N’ Boards

Coming Up at The Centre

Feb. 11, 2022

Buckets ‘N’ Boards comedy percussion show is a spectacularly imaginative work brought to life by two prolific performers, musicians, and comedians. Witness this joyous charm as Matt and Gareth bring to life their characters with nonstop hilarious interplay. The intricate beats and stunning synchronicity are AWESOME to behold! The sheer variety of instruments and found objects they are able to manipulate is inspiring! The comedy centered on the improvisational interactions with the crowd is the driving force of the show.

From their imaginative songs, beautiful harmonies, dazzling tap dancing, crisp beatboxing, body percussion, and bucket drumming, to a fresh and unique brand of clean comedy, Buckets ‘N’ Boards has crafted an original theatrical experience the entire family will enjoy!

What to get the family that has everything? The gift of time together! Buckets ‘N’ Boards makes the perfect family gift!
