Horrible Histories: Barmy Britain

- We all secretly wish we could have a chat with the characters from history, but since time travel isn’t included on most itineraries (and, inconveniently, everyone’s dead), Horrible Histories Live gives you the next best thing: a riotous, fast-paced stage romp straight from Barmy Britain that lets you meet the infamous, the fearsome and the frankly foul in person—perfect for a spontaneous cultural stop on your summer travels or a planned family outing while you’re away. - Ever wanted to test your mettle against battling Boudica, decide whether King John’s a villain or a martyr for the Magna Carta, or survive a theatrical brush with the putrid plague? This show throws you into the thick of it with laugh-out-loud sketches where Parliament shudders under Gunpowder Guy, you’re challenged to “stand and deliver” by the dastardly Dick Turpin, and you scramble to escape the clutches of Burke and Hare before taking a truly terrible, gloriously grim tour with the Night Soil Men—history served with a grin and a generous splash of the disgusting. - It’s British history with all the nasty bits left in, delivered in a way that’s as educational as it is entertaining: upbeat songs, sharp sketches, plenty of audience interaction and enough gross-out gags to keep kids delighted and adults snorting with laughter, making it an ideal shared experience for multi-generational groups, friends on the road, or anyone who loves history told with attitude. - Whether you’re plotting a family-friendly stop on your summer itinerary or hunting for a theatrical highlight during your travels, book your tickets and prepare for an uproarious, memorable night out where you’ll laugh, learn and probably squirm a little—Horrible Histories Live is the kind of show that turns history’s darkest moments into the brightest memories.
