Potted Pirates

Despite almost drowning amidst a tidal wave of props, costumes and word-play Dan and Jeff emerge from the blue-briny with a blistering hour of high-ranking kids comedy.

Following on from the sell-out Potted Potter, our able seamen take arms against a sea of pirates. This is kids comedy with verve, vigour and intelligence - both in structure and performance. Dropping anchor at every historical port to bring buckle-swashing figures like Henry Morgan and Blackbeard to life, Dan and Jeff present a giggle-riddled voyage of buccaneering fun.

Following in the traditional double-act format, the dopey comic attempts to scuttle the high-brow schemes of his partner. It opens as a serious lecture but swiftly sinks beneath waves of manical piratical gags, guffs and guffaws. Dan and Jeff have a strong, vibrant and engaging style - complimented with some good panto-participation - and this Jolly Good Ship is worthy of a very long voyage!

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD

Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
