About the show
Raiders of the Local Adventure is an interactive sixty-minute outdoor comedy show from semi-professional company Agency for Absurd Agency.

Expect cryptic clues, derring-do, deception, dangerous wildlife and meddling academics. Audiences will be standing and moving throughout, so comfortable footwear is advised. Suitable for ages 12 and above.
