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!

Click HERE to see the duo in action.

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.

How to describe Comedy Gold

Blog posted:10 February 2011

On Friday 8th April we have a treat coming your way in the form of Terry Alderton. Hotfoot from appearances on Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow and following sell-out tours in Australia and New Zealand (and back by popular demand at the Playhouse), the word ‘hilarious’ does not do the man justice.

“Terry Alderton is on astonishing form. The cheeky chappie with quick impressions has delved deeper into his and our psyches. He wrestles inner demons – they win – and jump-cuts between light gag and frustrated Father 4 Justice with such ease that the venom in certain routines slips down without touching your lips. Masterful” The Sunday Times

We’ve thought long and hard about just how to describe Mr Alderton and his madcap and darkly surreal comedy and have decided that it is better you find out for yourself. We have a YouTube clip and a review of a recent show for your perusal and hope that you will be as excited about his arrival in Norwich as we are!

As ever to book tickets or for more information on the show please contact our Box Office on 01603 598598 or look around our website and seek him out.

Love Norwich Playhouse xx
