Lou Sanders: No Kissing In The Bingo Hall - Work in Progress
“Just like Tom Cruise does all his own stunts, I’m going to do all my own jokes".
Multi-award winning super loon Tony Law returns with a new show of nonsense and absurdity. Some weird history and ghosts, and cats and dogs and wars and ducks and Britophilia.
The older man with a childish mind and a naughty streak is always entertaining and original and naturally funny but not afraid to do simple shouty silly voices. A whirlwind of surreal farm boy hardcore whimsy.
“Genius”. The Telegraph.
