Description

In a kingdom where laughter is forbidden, one rat, and a fancy one at that, attempts to bring joy and merriment to this grim realm before it’s too late. This show promises songs and dances in the music hall style, delivered by Marny Godden and Tom Turner. This is the tale of a London Fancy Rat. 'Sublimely silly, brilliantly surreal' (Times). 'Perfectly executed comedy' ***** (Edinburgh Evening News). 'Outstandingly performed' ***** (BroadwayBaby.com). 'Hugely talented, gifted performers' ***** (Time Out). ***** (ThreeWeeks). ***** (One4Review.com). **** (Chortle.co.uk).

Hands down the best thing I’ve seen at the fringe. I spent the whole time thinking “what the hell is this” and laughing so hard I literally chocked. Why is it in a yurt? Why is there a rat? Are we supposed to know the songs? Who knows, who cares, for gods sake go and see it.

Silly, clever, imaginative fun. The perfect tonic for whatever ails you in today's stressful world. I could happily watch these two idiots bumble around for hours.
