The Hotel Gleneagles is the home of Fawlty Towers and it is where the story of making the series all began.  John Cleese stayed at the hotel with the legendary Monty Python team while filming once and witnessed the antics of the Hotel owner, he was so fascinated by him that he decided to return to the hotel to observe him in more detail.  He ultimately called Connie Booth over to view the hotelier from hell in action and they immediately started writing the first episode of the number one classic comedy of all time!

Laughlines are proud to be contracted to the hotel with our interactive version of the show.  It really is just like being on set and living the Fawlty Towers dream!  Some people have actually returned over and over again to see this event which speaks volumes for the professional cast and the very high standards they have attained.

Events Director and Actor Michael Wilson-Green, commented… “The Laughlines team have worked exceptionally hard over the years producing unrivaled comedy entertainment, this article is testimony to that hard work and unique skill”.  ”Amongst thousands of acts offering themed entertainment, I am so pleased that a National newspaper has voted us in the top ten in the UK”, it’s definitely another feather in the Laughlines cap!

 On behalf of myself and all the staff at Beech Hill I’d like to thank you and the laughlines team for putting on a tremendous Fawlty Towers evening at the Beech Hill Hotel. You exceeded all expectations and the people of Derry were left wanting for more. We cannot wait until the next time!

Laughlines achieved huge success at the Magners Big Tickle Comedy Festival on Thursday 10th September.  We appeared at the famous Beech Hill Country House Hotel near Derry, Northern Ireland performing our ever popular Fawlty Towers tribute. 

Nearly 200 guests appeared for the Laughlines show including, the WBA middle-weight champion of the world John Duddy!  After the show John approached actor Michael Wilson Green who plays Basil and praised him for what he commented on the funniest night of his life, “I have never laughed so much in my life” he said and asked for photgraphs with his wife.  He also commented on Michael’s take on Basil, saying, “It was absolutely perfect, the manerisms, the voice and the whole frenetic and energetic way he darted about for nearly three hours supported by the great John Tearney as Manuel and Wren Chapman as Sybil Fawlty.    John and his wife then joined Michael and the team for drinks in the hotel bar where the wonderful Northern Irish again showed their hospitality and the party went on until the wee small hours.

Laughlines have been asked back to Ireland early next year for more shows including, Fawlty Towers and their famous Father Ted show. Laughlines will also be performing at the Magners comedy festival again next September where they will perform Fawlty Towers and Father Ted on consequtive nights at the Beech Hill Country House Hotel.

Laughlines are the original, English, Fawlty Towers tribute show… that’s why people choose Laughlines for the best Fawlty Towers dining experience.  

Crathorne Hall was our first port of call this month where we set up a fabulous event for ABB Engineering Services  and their clients.  The theme was James Bond 007 - black & white Ostich feathers, slender vases with neon lights, scattered crystals twinkled on the table cloths complimented by satin chair covers and sashes .  The room was perfected by installing unique 007 Bond props including, eight foot high illuminated Bond figures, Bond girls and even an Austin Powers one, as the great man himself was making an appearance  too…

Gold glittered 007 logos with a giant golden gun centered in the room with danger signs and even a toxic waste barrel for effect in the corridor areas!

Pyrotechnic equipment was provided for explosive effects and replica firing pistols were used by the actors in a fight with the evil tyrants.  To top things off 007’s Aston Martin DBS graced the forecourt area where many photographs were taken.

On Wednesday 17th June we organised a special 1920’s themed event for the Seddon Group and thier clients at the beautiful Rudding Park Country House Hotel in Harroagte.  The empahsis was centered around the tables and the stage area where we created amazing floral displays, giant floral pedastals and napkins folded into dinner jackets with a rose for every lady!

The stage looked fantastic with a black & white 1920’s backdrop, flower displays with stage props and 1920’s style lamp stands.  Around the room were 1920’s illuminated sillouettes and a giant gramaphone in reception.

Laughlines performed a 1920’s murder mystery stage play which was wonderfully written by John Tearney and performed by the Laughlines team including John.  The performance ran beuatifully and smoothly without a hitch and the audience seemed mesmorised and enthralled as each scene took place.

Both clients expressed there gratitude and thanks for brilliant events and mentioned that comments from their clients were very positive and that they had thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.

Thank you to ABB and the Seddon Group for your valued business and we look forward to organising and entertaining at your next event… (ABB have just booked in their next client event with us)

Of course, a Laughlines event would not be the same without strong comedy characters such as Dr Scaranofeld, Ernest Blowselv, Jenny Tulworts and Odd Gob plus many others… James Bond will have his work cut out as Austin Flowers makes an appearance to solve a terrible crime!

This event is a private corporate event with one of Laughlines regulars.
