Lashings of ginger beer but Bumper Blyton's only for grown-ups

Bumper Blyton - Enid Blyton... for grown-ups is heading this way on tour.

Catch it at The Haymarket, Basingstoke, on Thursday, February 10, 7.30pm or the Corn Exchange, Newbury on April 28

The riotous improvised parody for adults, chock full of innuendo and puns, is set in the style of the nation’s favourite author Enid Blyton. Delight in lashings of ginger beer, grab a cheeky tongue sandwich or wrap your lips round a nice spotted dick!

Cast yourself back to your childhood in a show that’s utterly unique and spontaneous with this satirical take on childhood favourite books like The Famous Five and Mallory Towers.

A cast of the UK’s best-known and award-winning improvisers (as seen in Austentatious, Showstoppers! and TV’s Doctor Who) invent a hilarious adventure live on the hoof based on audience suggestions.

Performed in vintage costume with music and songs, the show offers an entertaining tongue-in-cheek homage.

Expect far too many picnics and plenty of farce in what will be an entertaining show for those who are well versed in Blyton’s novels, and for those who have never (yet) picked up one of her books.

The performance is suitable for ages 16 and over. Visit https://anvilarts.org.uk or https://cornexchangenew.com
