Dick and Dom to appear at Bristol’s Hoo-ha! Festival
Posted on: 21 Jun 2017The mischievous comedy duo will open the three-day kid-friendly festival, which runs from the 15th to the 17th August at Colston Hall.
BOGIES! Legendary custard pie-peddlers and one-story landlords Dick and Dom are temporarily ditching da (sic) bungalow in favour of altogether more auspicious premises. On Tuesday the 15th August, they will appear onstage at Bristol’s Colston Hall to open the Hoo-ha! Festival, a three-day celebration of childish comedy and activity.
The masters of mayhem will bring their puerile live show to the auditorium for two airings (11am and 2pm) on the first day of the festival, promising to cram more than a fair share of laughter, audience participation and anarchic fun into their stint on stage. It will get messy.
Theirs is just one of the special shows taking place across the course of the festival, with other highlights including a special, musical realisation of Roald Dahl’s Revolting Rhymes, a theatrical tour of Moominvalley and Andy Day’s performance of We’re Going On A Bear Hunt with the British Sinfonietta. There will also be a family roller disco, other concerts and various shows taking place throughout - details and tickets for these can be found here.
As well as these ticketed shows, there is plenty of free entertainment occurring in Colston Hall across the festival schedule. Much of this is happening on the Foyer Stage, where Andy Day will also be performing his much-loved Dino Raps, DJ Nick Terrific and MC Rocky Patch will host a junior jungle rave (age appropriate) and Sir Charlie Stinky Socks will make a pungent appearance.
Hoo-ha! festival returns to Colston Hall from Tuesday 15th – Thursday 17th August, bringing along with it a huge line-up of fun and festivities especially for kids, in partnership with Pukka Herbs. Tickets for the events are available here, while a full schedule of these can be found here.
