Enter a world of artfully controlled chaos.
There's a mysterious bad that drops from a height.
Shoes have magical powers.
And the strangest egg sandwich is made in front of your eyes.
Physical comedy, live music, acrobatics, silly dancing and audience interaction all feature in this seasonal offering with a difference. Told by an Idiot has looked to the work of Charlie Chaplin, Dr Seuss and Pina Bausch to fashion an unexpected variety performance, bursting with quirky playfulness and off-the-wall humour. Get Happy, which had us laughing out loud two years ago is back with new exciting material for 2015.
