Laughlines performed their brand new ABBA themed night, Mamma Mia It’s Murder, last Friday at Crathorne Hall Hotel in Yarm. The event was a massive success with wonderful comments after the show.
The client was ABB Engineering Services, a regular and important customer to our company, we wanted to not just give them a fabulous fun night of entertainment, but to provide them with an impressive room and lasting memories! We did just that…guests arrived at 7.00pm prompt, the clouds had dissapeared and the sun was shining brightly, the band were playing ABBA tunes in the background and Laughlines ABBA characters were meandering their way around the guests in the beautiful gardens.
The function room was dressed in a very 1970′s funky fashion mixed with contemporary lighting…LED’s spots and wildtech lights providing colourful moving images. The tables were various colours all coordinated to create a brilliant effect!
The Laughlines team presented the audience with an array of comedy and songs singing live they belted out tunes from the past including, Portaloo, their first ever hit, which was about Benny being stuck in a Portaloo and then Super Dooper (A tribute to the Swedish Super Dooper Bra) and finally Mamma Mia! Some of the Laughlines actors came back as the Gee Gees the tribute act to the Bee Gees (Rank outsiders) and sang ‘How Deep is Your Glove’ this song was revolving around Barry Gobb and his finger fetish!!!
Joining the Gee Gees was the tribute act to Alvin Stardust Alvin Sawdust (A carpenter from Swansea) who sang ‘My Crooked Screw’
Anyway someone got murdered of course and the whodunit began…awards were given out for the best solution to the murder and the best limerick competition and and a special Oscar for the best contributing actor was presented to Hugh Janus Manager of Bjorn Again Again, the tribute band to the tribute band to ABBA! ”Confused…bloody hell, I am”…
We finished with a themed casino night…this certainly was one of those unforgettable evenings and not just due to the fact that it had been a 19 hour working day, but to the fact that I had enjoyed the entertainment just as much as everyone else.
Pictures and film footage of this event are due to follow shortly…
