Live theatre

I have always thought of the walking tours as street theatre. Then I created indoor versions of the tours.

I also have added some new shows:

Lilt of Laughter, Trace of Tears

Isn't That The Dickens - for Christmas

and Heads and Tales - something new.

So I thought it was time for this.

Live one-man shows. Now booking.
