A wonderful show, putting people and kids in particular in the shoes of different disabilities through a series of daft-seeming challenges like drawing with your feet and buttering bread while being jabbed with big foam fingers. Benny Shakes is upfront about the challenges of cerebral palsy and his guests span disabilities from neurodivergence to profound physical impairment. It’s delightful, silly, funny and is a joyous fountain of empathy. The kids in the audience loved it even more than their parents.

Fantastic show for all ages, as adults, we went, enjoyed it and learnt a lot too.

Really good for the kids too, accessible to all ages!

A great way to spend an hour

An inspired, brilliantly energetic game show for kids like you've never seen before! It's loads of fun, massively interactive, educational and hosted by a guy with cerebral palsy.
