Faulty Towers – The Dining Experience

Described by the Daily Telegraph as a ‘two-hour eat, drink, and laugh sensation’, Faulty Towers – The Dining Experience is one of the hottest sensations in the comedy scene, and for good reason too. Mostly improvised, this witty show starts off as you wait to be seated, while three wacky hoteliers serve you a 3-course meal filled with loads of laughs, gags, and really bad service.

Faulty Towers The Dining Experience is happening from Thursday, 9 April to Sunday, 12 April.

Public Enemy

People say the truth hurts the most, and that’s the prevalent narrative in Public Enemy. A doctor (Ivan Heng) exposes the truth about the town’s water supply being laden with bacteria – but instead of crediting him with the discovery, the community turns against him for his politically incorrect standpoint. Which begs the question: can one man stand up to the majority?

Public Enemy is happening from Thursday, 9 April to Saturday, 25 April at Victoria Theatre.
