Description

78-year-old Woodrow is finally getting a chance to pursue his dream… becoming an actor! He's prepped his monologues, brushed his teeth and is ready to audition. And you will be the casting directors! Baloney Theatre Company is back in Edinburgh with their wackiest show yet. Expect to see cowboys, chaotic car salesmen, crocs and lots more! Woodrow will do just about anything to get a role. Written and performed by Marissa Landy, this sketch show is silly, whimsical and totally bonkers. Come along and see if Woodrow can land the job!

Great way for the whole family to spend their afternoon. Reminded me a bit of Count Arthur Strong which is no bad thing :) Loved the interactive bits.

Made me think about designer Toothpaste! Really funny and Woodrow is a great character. Reminds me of Richard Yewtree from Late Night Lycett. You may shoot a gun, or mold play dough, or sing! Just go and have fun!

In this funny and quirky character show, you are for once put in place as the auditioners watching each audition unfold, with twists and turns and plenty of fun audience involvement. As you go through the auditions you can't help but feel for Woodrow and his misfortunes. This is one vibrant old man you don't want to miss out on, not to mention his unique singing voice!
