Laughlines ever popular Fawlty Towers Dinner Show hit South Wales at the weekend with three amazing high energy performances that encouraged standing ovations from the delighted guests!  First port of call was at the Plas Hyfryd Hotel, Narberth, where a total of over 160 guests were entertained over two nights.  We received a wonderful welcome and the laughs started as soon as Basil frantically appeared behind the bar!   The usual fast paced antics ensued which culminated in a three hour Fawlty Towers extravaganza led by Michael Wilson-Green as the mad cap Basil Fawlty.  A standing ovation proceeded at the end of the show with wonderful comments from the audience afterwards.  Laughlines are already re-booked for a number of performances including, the Laughlines Father Ted Dinner Show and yet again the Fawlty Towers Dinner Show…the ultimate Fawlty Towers tribute, performed by the one and only British touring team… Laughlines!

The Laughlines Father Ted events performed over Christmas raised nearly £300 for charity in total.  This was due to the Father Ted raffle (which is conveniently fixed for the priests to win)

The £300 is going to St Michael’s Hospice in Harrogate, which is a hospice for the terminally ill.  Most of the staff are volunteers who do an amazing  job helping those who are very poorly!

We will continue to do the raffle on future events and announce the chosen charity during or at the end of the show!  Thank you to all those people who contributed to the recent Father Ted raffles as your donations will be much appreciated at the hospice.
