James Campbell returns to the festival stage after spending the last ten years writing funny books and parenting his own children. He invented the idea of proper stand-up for children back in 2001 and now comes back to reboot comedy for kids. The reconstructed show may include exploding penguins, seventeen ways to eat jam, and songs to sing to the worms in your dog's bottom. It is presented by Cahoots Entertainment in association with Cahoots Theatre Company Ltd.
Why see this show?
A stand-up show created specifically for children by the person who first proved kids deserve proper comedy. Silly, absurd and full of the kind of humour young audiences genuinely love — and parents might quietly enjoy too.
