THE TIGER WHO CAME TO TEA

SPIRIT OF THE DANCE

Having made dynamic appearances on the Michael McIntyre Comedy Roadshow, Mike Gunn and Sean Collins have teamed up to present a unique double bill show that not only offers solo sets from each but which also culminates in both comic heart-throbs performing on stage together.

The doorbell rings and Sophie and her mummy are sitting down to tea. Who could it possibly be? What they certainly don’t expect to see at the door is a big stripy tiger!

Powerful, show-stopping Irish dance combines with the passionate Latino rhythms of tango, flamenco, and red-hot salsa to produce a heartpounding production described in reviews as ‘the world’s greatest Irish dance show’.

MIKE GUNN AND SEAN COLLINS

This is the opportunity to witness two of the finest standup comedians in the UK today. With super-slick delivery and killer punchlines, Mike and Sean are at the top of their game. Having funny bones is something you’re born with and these two don’t need calcium supplements!

Following on from the highlysuccessful 2009 tour, the tea-guzzling tiger is back on the road in this delightful family show; packed with oodles of magic, songs and clumsy chaos...expect to be surprised.

TUE 21 & WED 22 JUNE
