Starring THE REAL MACGUFFINS - a London-based comedy sketch trio; they are Dan (EastEnders) March, Jim (Oliver!) Millard and Matt (nothing) Sheahan in alphabetical order (not importance...well...actually, yes that too). One’s taller, one’s shorter and one looks like a cat and they’re bringing their latest cavalcade of characters to Bath!

From eerie shopkeepers to the world’s worst mountaineers, from disturbing tea ladies to everyone’s favourite graphic design-based mobsters ‘The Fonterellis’, this is a delightful mixture of character-driven material and daft sketches, all bound together with some serious punning talent.

Directed by Cal McCrystal, who has directed the legendary Peepolykus and The Mighty Boosh, The Real MacGuffins mix originality with quick-fire puns, gags and fast-paced sketches to create a riotous show that takes an awful lot of pleasure in poking fun at the world.
“Three very funny men” **** Three Weeks
“One of the most original and riotous comedy shows at the (Edinburgh) Festival…a relentless display of wit and creativity” ***** FreshAir.org.uk
“Truly inventive…deliciously daft…the acting is as slick as their matching suit jackets” The List
“…incredibly silly and funny...these are three very talented performers whose comedy dynamic adds a nice extra layer to the show” Kate Copstick, The Scotsman

Also featuring THE GOODNIGHT SWEETHEARTS - 1940's Cabaret starring Connie and Flo. Listen to their live BBC broadcast and have a ticketyboo time and a jolly ol' knees up!

And...the long awaited return of the THE WIDCOMBE PLAYERS - putting the 'am' back in ham dram!

To top it off THE CRITTERS will take you dancing a rootsy trip through a great songbook - acoustic guitar, fretless bass, sax and a trio of fine voices

There'll also be the Grandest of Grand Raffles, Bonbon style! Prizes include hot air balloon rides!

Starting us off will be our favourite Boogie Woogie pianist Nick Cudworth

Throughout the evening there will be a licenced bar and Mrs Chipps' Kitchen, catering for your every need!
