Little Howard’s Royal Wedding Song

Blog posted:20 April 2011

This is our favourite YouTube clip of the moment! Little Howard (coming to the Playhouse along with mentor/guardian/comic foil Big Howard on Sunday 1 May) uses the medium of song to remind Kate Middleton that her options are still open…

If this video makes you chuckle, grab the kids and head down to the Playhouse to see LITTLE HOWARD AND THE MAGIC PENCIL OF LIFE AND DEATH. A fab family show featuring the characters from hit CBBC show LITTLE HOWARD’S BIG QUESTION. It will make you laugh, cry, and muse on how giant pencils can shape all of our lives.

Feeling Frisky or Mannish?

Blog posted:25 March 2011

Frisky and Mannish, the (in their own words) popmusicy-seriocomic-mashparodic-stereophonic-LOUD-vaudevillian-sketchcabaret-throwbackcurrent-oldfangled-newfashioned-bapsbotty-infotainment duo have been taking Edinburgh by storm over the past couple of years. They’ve taken their act all over the world, including London’s West End, Sydney’s Opera House, Singapore’s only comedy club, New York’s skankiest dives, Berlin’s politest lunchtime kabarett and The Slak Bar, Cheltenham.

Now they are headed to the Playhouse on Easter Monday 25th April. This week they were invited to the Scott Mills Radio show on BBC Radio 1 to give a sneeky taster of who they are and what they do. So check it out, laugh out loud and rush to the website to book your tickets!

To book tickets contact the box office on 01603 598598 or visit our website www.norwichplayhouse.co.uk to find out more information on this or any of our other shows.
