About UNCLE BARRY
Uncle Barry's Birthday Party is an interactive, immersive theatre experience from amateur company UNCLE BARRY. Audiences are literally invited to attend a birthday party, complete with gossip, dancing, flirting, cake and a good playlist — with Uncle Barry himself as the host. Guests are required to walk and move around during the performance, making this a genuinely participatory evening rather than a seated show. Running for 60 minutes at Muse, the show is suitable for audiences aged 16 and above.
Why see this show?
Not a show you watch — a party you attend. If you want an evening where the event happens around and with you rather than at you, and Uncle Barry seems like your kind of host, this is a good bet.
