THE BUNKER Monday 31st May 2010
|
The Beta Male's Picnic Present... The Bunker
Rob Carter + Carly Smallman + The Three Englishmen + Robert Commiskey, with more to be announced shortly.
After a strong 2009 Edinburgh with four star reviews from The List and Three Weeks, and Kate Copstick from The Scotsman concluding her review with: “I really can’t imagine who would not enjoy it.”, the Beta Males are working towards a strong concept show this year: a post-apocalyptic sketch show called “The Bunker”. Set thirty years after a worldwide cataclysm, “The Bunker” charts the progress of the last 273 survivors, in their concrete haven, miles below ground.
The Beta Males’ Picnic invite you to take off your jacket, shake the radiation from your hair, grab a glass of beer-flavoured cataclysm-water, and to come take your seat in...The Bunker.

THE WILMO DELIGHTS THE INDEPENDENT
1st May 2011
A lovely bit of press for The Wilmo:
"Further down towards Exmouth Market, the Wilmington Arms is setting itself up as pretender to its crown. At the monthly night run by the sketch troupe Ladygarden, it's not unusual to see stars from Peep Show's Isy Suttie to Lenny Henry performing to a 40-strong crowd, spot Jennifer Saunders at the bar or bump into Ash Atalla, the producer of The Office, scouting for new talent."
