Through our shows we aim to entertain, inspire and surprise with high quality, original street theatre.

Where we have been

Prisons, war zones, hillsides, football stadiums, village halls, trains, castles, visitor centres, galleries, caves, conferences, films, palaces, mental hospitals, and lots and lots of streets...

...including...

....EXPO Seville, Commonwealth Games, World Student Games, Euro 96, Rolling Stones UK Tour, Glastonbury Festival, Festimagic France, Stockholm festival, Linburg Festival Holland, all over Belgium (we are big in Belgium!), Tall Ships Race, Edinburgh Festival, G8 Summit, Eurovision Song Contest... and The Isle of Man!

And we have spent a lot of time in our van.

The Boys Meet Her Majesty

The Queen: Have you been waiting long?

Jem: Yes, since this morning.

The Queen: What are you doing here?

Jem: That's a long story Your Majesty. I don't think you have time for the answer...

Kyle: ...Giving fashion advice. And as you know yourself Your Majesty - if you're looking good, you're feeling good.

The Queen: Well, quite.
