Description

Which is the true home of heroes – Marvel or DC? In this interactive show, kids battle it out on behalf of their heroes in games and challenges to decide which franchise has the best heroes. Join comedian Rik Carranza for an action-packed hour filled with tests of speed, strength, and courage (aka all the things that make a hero). Whether you’re team Ant-Man or team Aquaman, team Iron Man or team Batman, be ready to champion your hero! Dressing up is strongly encouraged. Use of kryptonite may result in a timeout.

My 9yo son really wanted to see this due to the title! This is an audience participation show of games and laughs. Perfect for kids and adults. You don’t even have to know the Marvel and DC characters. Rik is fun and friendly, engaging with young and old in the audience. No pressure to get involved, but my son loved it. Especially the nerf guns!

What a brilliant show. Went ‘cos we missed another. Me my wife and our grandson. From the off my grandson was enraptured and I’ll admit so was I. A room full of parents and children who took part, shouted out joined in and all under the magic control of Rick. Ever been to a show where you are encouraged to fire Nerf guns at audience participants on stage? No? Well this is the show for you. Go see it.

Great show for kids and their comic book loving parents. Rik Carranza is charismatic, fun and able to connect easily with the children he gets on stage and those who wish to stay in the audience A thoroughly interactive experience, involving a bit of debate and some fun games, with a finale that sees everyone gleefully taking part. As we found out when we were there, it even runs as a good show and a fun event when the children have no interest in marvel/DC at all.

Essentially this is like a themed birthday cake - sure, those who like the design might like it a bit more, but who doesn't love a good cake!
In this case, it seems to be nerf guns!

Great value as part of the 'pay what you can' fringe experience, just take the weans. You'll have as much fun as they do. And they have lots.
