Farewell to Buxton
posted by Yaz Al-Shaater on Saturday, 26 July 2008
Well, after ten sell-out shows, 400 audiences (plus 200 turned away), 40 spontaneous performers, one reviewer (and
one superlative review!), three balls of string, about twenty trips to Conways Timber Merchants, four bouts of food poisoning and one very badly sprained ankle, it's finally time for us to say goodbye and
thank you very much to Buxton for another splendid year.
As usual, you've provided a brilliant audience, a fantastic atmosphere, and priceless feedback. We're sorry we couldn't indulge your
cries for extra performances. We miss you already.
Same time next year?

Forgive the quiet on the blog recently - but here's a quick post with our latest review:
Oh my goodness! This performance is amazing: it is imaginative, innovative, unique, intelligent and very funny. The whole cast was outstanding, extremely confident and above all made it an evening of fun and much laughter. I honestly can't recommend it highly enough. I shan't describe it - words can't describe it - you shall have to go and see it for yourselves. I must warn you to be prepared, however. Be prepared for tears of laughter and plenty of surprises!
Book your tickets now - quick, before they all go!

We'll get some more news up on here soon!

End of the Summer Tour
posted by Yaz Al-Shaater on Tuesday, 28 August 2007
Well, it's over. Our last night was... well, last night, and that concluded our 46-date-tour.
Thanks to all of you that came to see us! We've yet to receive exact audience figures, but we know we had roughly one-and-a-half thousand audience through our doors between Crash Course and Play On Words, in London, Buxton and Edinburgh. The tour was a great success - we got some great reviews and feedback, and just about covered our costs - and has opened up some exciting possibilities for the future... but you'll have to come back later to find out what they are!
To keep up to date with what we're up to next, you can keep checking back to this blog (or subscribe by atom or rss) or join our mailing list.
Finally - congratulation to Tom - 21 today!

Crash Course
posted by Michael Grady-Hall on Wednesday, 6 June 2007
Tom Crawshaw and Yaz Al-Shaater will return as the hapless Mike and Nick, in the long-awaited prequel to the award-winning Platformation and Plane of Existence. This anarchic, runaway comedy blends script and audience suggestions to form a series of snowballing sketches, bound towards a calamitous catastrophe - which changes every night! Make sure you catch Part 0 of the Transport Trilogy.
9th, 10th, 16th, 17th, 18th & 21st July, 10pm and 13th, 14th, 15th & 16th July, 6pm
