Professor Bumm's
Story Machine


FROM THE WINNERS OF 'BEST FAMILY SHOW 2007' - BUXTON FRINGE

AS SEEN ON BBC1'S 'THE SLAMMER' AND IN A SELL-OUT WEST END RUN!

'The parents shone, the children dissolved into giggles, and I laughed for the first time in three days. Children's theatre that defies gravity' - The Times

'Full of clever word play, silly jokes, and mad improvisations. The kids love it and much to my surprise I really rather enjoyed it too' - Lyn Gardner, The Guardian

'The affable hilarity is intensified by the knowledge that they are only holding it together by the skin of their teeth - they make a great job of it and have a keen eye for material that can make young audiences roll about' - The Scotsman

Professor Bumm and his assistant Doctor Whee invite you to the unveiling of his latest invention in this crackpot comedy of made-up madness!

This technological marvel will collect data from the audience and use it to create fantastic stories out of thin air.

Unless, of course, the machine goes catastrophically wrong, forcing Bumm and Whee to make up the stories themselves in some sort of desparate cover-up situation... What are the chances of that?

This improvised comedy for all the family brings you new levels of inspired lunacy as two of the country's greatest eggheads race to avoid getting egg on their faces.

Suitable for ages 6+
