Gimme ABBA

 

The humour, energy and enjoyment generated on stage delights audiences and provides a light hearted side to the show without compromising any of the iconic music known and loved by millions. The many costume changes, choreographed dance routines, superbly crafted harmonies and instantly recognisable guitar and piano riffs come together to re-create that original Abba party fee and truly encapsulate the 70s era.

Dave Spikey

 

Funny things happen at home, at work, out shopping, at the Vets, in Prison, out with his eccentric Gran and in Hong Kong - obviously. 

Dave's comedy radar has always instinctively drawn him to these small out-of-the-ordinary events that wash over most of us and pass us by. Once identified, he analyses and elaborates them in his own way whilst at the same time reminding us that not only have we too witnessed them, they've probably happened to us!

It's this added dimension, this comedy of association that elevates the events to laugh-out-loud funny.
