Set Sail On A Ludicrous Adventure Comedy Into The Unknown With HOW TO BE A PIRATE
Grab yer grog, climb aboard and become the pirate you were born to be!
Inspired by mythology, '90s pop culture and an especially memorable fifth birthday pirate party, How To Be A Pirate invites all adults to dive into a world of saucy storytelling, ludicrous characters and sea-based stupidity in this ludicrous adventure comedy set on the high seas.
The audience plays the crew of the ship. Their leader? A hopeless, idiot Captain. Together, they must navigate the twists and turns of the high seas and overcome the treacherous obstacles over the horizon. Outfox the gods! Flirt with fate! Uncover lost secrets on a journey towards ultimate glory...if you have what it takes!
Like The Mighty Boosh, '90s pop culture and action-adventure epics like Jumanji and Hook? If yes, then this is the show for you.
Expect piratical profanity, nautical nudity and fruit-based cannibalism that some viewers may find offensive, arousing or both in this highly interactive voyage that WILL leave your cockles yo-ho'ing with delight.
So what are ye waiting for? Grab yer grog, climb aboard and become the pirate you were born to be!
