Boogaloo Stu & Lorraine Bowen Announce Christmas Tour Dates of MUCH ADO ABOUT CRIMBO ImageBoogaloo Stu and Lorraine Bowen present their tinsel-trimmed, seasonally silly and slightly Shakespearean game of musical bingo.

Written, Devised and Performed by Boogaloo Stu, with additional material by Lorraine Bowen.

Touring 4th - 22nd December 2018

This Christmas, polyester and crimplene are set to collide, so watch the sparks fly as the crimplene king Derek Daniels (Boogaloo Stu) and the polyester queen Lorraine Bowen join forces for this unique Christmas show. 'Tis the season to make merry, so don your festive finery and join us for this seasonally silly and slightly Shakespearean game of musical bingo - its Much Ado About Crimbo!

Listen carefully as Derek sings a medley of fabulous festive classics, whilst casually dropping Shakespearean quotes into his hilarious showbiz anecdotes. Grab your bingo card and tick off the songs and quotes as you hear them, in a frantic bid to win the Full House and claim your gift from under the tree.

Derek will be joined onstage by his old showbiz sidekick Ronnie Hazelnut at the piano, and his very special guest, Lorraine Bowen. The delightfully eccentric "Crumble Lady" from Britain's Got Talent, Lorraine won David Walliams' Golden Buzzer on the show with her catchy melodies, Casiotone organ and love of polyester gowns. A perfect match for Derek!

Running time 90 minutes, plus interval. Suitable for ages 12+
