Laugh-A-Lot

Laugh out Loud at this theatrically live and jovial journey through tantalising song and dance routines (Burlesque, Belly Dance and Broadway); topical skits Medical Misunderstandings, Seniors IQ Test and What Religion is your Bra ?) plus comic characters (Jock, Bazza, Mavis and Gertie).

After these Lockdowns, our experienced performers need audiences aged 50 to 90 years old who are keen to attend live shows and embrace “Laughter which is still the world’s best and most needed medicine” because it makes people feel good – long after the laughter has subsided.

Our re-scheduled world premiere performance is at 1pm, Tuesday 9 November in a 300 seat auditorium at the Churches of Christ, 41 Brookfield Rd, Kenmore.
