New Show Laughlines School Dinners
Tuesday, March 1st, 2011Laughlines performed the very first school dinners show on Thursday this week and it was an instant smash hit with our client.
Mr. Grabcock the Headmaster was played by the notorious Michael Wilson-Green who donned the black cape and black tasselled hat, John Tearney played Buster the school bully and also Reverend Whippit Upham the school priest. The very talented Wren Chapman played Nitty Nora the head explorer and the Geography teacher Fanny Stroker, Cat Davison Vickers was brilliant as an audience plant playing a morbid Czech republic girl and then coming back as Shiela Blige the naughty prefect. Other fabulous performances came from Alexandra Little as the PE teacher. Dean and Wood were at the receiving end of this hilarious interactive dinner show which ended up going down in the record books as one of the most amazing food fights I have ever seen! School dinners will be on offer for corporate events as well as for the public events…School Dinners is one of those shows where you can really let your hair down and have fun.
Dean and Wood have booked another School Dinners event for October and the Beech Hill Country House Hotel in Derry Northern Ireland maybe staging this show in the Summer!

Wedding Entertainment
Thursday, September 30th, 2010
If it’s wedding entertainment you are looking for then look no further…Laughlines have been entertaining at weddings for over 12 years with their original comedy waiters and Fawlty Towers events.
It really does make the day special when you have amazing fun and laughter at your event, that’s why our comedy waiters are first choice when it comes to wedding entertainment. Our waiters are acclaimed professional actors with vast experience and skills…first they blend in with the real waiting staff and make small mistakes and because we play European waiters and don’t speak much English it becomes quite difficult trying to understand what anybody wants… soon the waiters move into a fast paced calamity of accidents and errors including fires in the kitchen, dropping ice buckets and slipping on ice to serenading the Bride and the audience with classic songs (with unusual lyrics) and then some crazy flamenco dancing! Our testimonials are unparalleled and speak volumes about our professionalism, energy and unique style.
To make your wedding day the most memorable and talked about ever then contact Laughlines and ask for Laughlines Comedy Waiters or Fawlty Towers events! Telephone - 0845 170 1600 or email info@laughlines.net
