The Grumbleweeds Bring Laughter Show to St Helens Theatre Royal

Join legendary comedy act The Grumbleweeds for an evening of laughter, music, magic and more at St Helens Theatre Royal on Sunday 21st May!

It's a show that's full to the brim with of laugh-out-loud comedy routines, great singers, theatrical magic and fun for all the family! See exactly what's kept The Grumbleweeds at the very top of their game for over 50 years as they perform some of their hilarious comedy routines in this non-stop variety spectacular.

The strength of any artist in show business today is to know when to change their style and direction; to progress, develop and to move forward, rather than rest on the laurels of their former glories. The true art, however, is to anticipate current and future trends, and to remain one step ahead of the pack by making exactly the right move at exactly the right time.

For The Grumbleweeds, 1998 marked an exciting change in their career. After 25 years in show business as a five-piece musical band, the group decided that the time was right to make a major change in direction. Drawing on all their years of experience and know-how in the industry, they developed, updated, and introduced a sparkling new, fast-moving act, embracing the entire spectrum of entertainment. It was a change that was to propel them into the next millennium with a vengeance. Yet, despite the change, the emphasis remained firmly on laugh-out-loud comedy and family-friendly entertainment.

The Grumbleweeds success over the past 50 years has been moulded to perfection through a mixture of domestic cabaret clubs, concerts, pantomimes and summer seasons. However, it was on radio that they made their major breakthrough, with their highly successful BBC Radio 2 series The Grumbleweeds Radio Show.

The show ran for 11 years (from 1979 to 1988) creating 15 series in all, which twice received the prestigious Sony Award for Best Radio Show, at the prestigious Television and Radio Industries Awards.

They are justly heralded throughout the business as The Guv'nors, boasting record-breaking success in virtually every major theatre and seaside resort in the UK, as well as enjoying success in Australia, Germany, South America, Spain, the Falklands, the Canaries and New Zealand and on cruise ships throughout the world.

They maintain the enviable skill of being able to entertain every conceivable kind of audience. There are very few acts in the history of UK comedy that can stand the test of time and who can boast such a proud theatrical history as The Grumbleweeds.

Chantelle Nolan, Theatre Manager said: "The Grumbleweeds legacy speaks for itself. They have seen and done it all. St Helens Theatre Royal is pleased to welcome the Laughter Show and looks forward to seeing what these experienced comics have up their sleeves!"
