Description

It attempts to deal with the happenings of a young soldier who foolishly volunteered for anything The British Army could throw at him.

I’m so pleased I chose this show. It was an education for me to learn about a young soldier’s experiences in the army and Falklands war. Outstanding performance with humour and sadness. Definite lump in throat but with hope too. Remarkable .

An amazing, captivating and inspirational re tell of Nicks time serving in the British Army and fighting in the Falklands War before he started his long comedy career.
My husband, teenage son and I were blown away by Nicks story of resilience and heroism and all had a lump in our throats at more than one point during the show.
This show is a must see , five plus stars from us ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had the pleasure of seeing the show on Sunday. a fantastic insight into the journey of a Falkland War veteran. From joining the Army to trying to find reconciliation with himself later in life. Comedy in part, emotional in part, all delivered by a first-class performer.
