Ex-cabbies Tony Furlong and Jimmy Power’s Christmas cracker of a comedy Night Collar is to return to St Helens Theatre Royal for four performances only this festive season, from 5th –8th December.
If your idea of a Christmas show includes good shepherds, wise men and a virgin, then you’re going to be in for a bit of a disappointment.
If, however, your festive season wouldn’t be complete without nudity, drunkenness, Elvis and a lady of the night selling her wares – then Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Night Collar!
‘Tis the season of goodwill and there’s not a disagreement in sight. Yeah, right. It’s late, we’re in St Helens town centre on Christmas Eve and the taxi metre is ticking over on one of the busiest nights of the year for this cabbie, played by Kev Seed.
Working the late shift, you’d expect to meet some unusual characters – but you ain’t seen nothing yet!
The hilarious festive show, produced by Regal Entertainments Ltd is the perfect Christmas night out for friends, family and colleagues to start their festive season with a bang, though hopefully not in the taxi on the way over to the theatre.
Written by Tony Furlong and Jimmy Power and directed by Sylvie Gatrill this hysterical festive show stars Kev Seed (The Ciggie Run, Juice FM) alongside a stocking stuffed full of fabulous local talent including Daniel O’Brien (The Salon, Rita, Sue & Bob Too), Lynne Fitzgerald (The Salon, Liverbirds), Lenny Wood (The Sinking of The Laconia) and Jodie Nesbitt (The Ciggie Run). C’mon it’s lovely weather for a cab ride together with you!
Kev Seed said: “I was thrilled to be asked to perform the role of the cabbie in Night Collar again.
"I love Tony Furlong and Jimmy Power’s writing, it still makes me laugh even after performing the show so many times.
"I’m also performing in Aladdin at St Helens Theatre Royal this December, so it’s going to be interesting to be swapping between the cabbie and PC Noodle on the same day, hope I don’t get mixed up and think that I’m still a Chinese Policeman when I’m supposed to be a cabbie in St Helens town centre!”
Producer and Theatre Royal General Manager Chantelle Nolan said: “Here at St Helens Theatre Royal, we’re committed to bring fantastic pieces of theatre, whether that is new writing or old favourites to the local people.
"I’m delighted to be bringing this hilarious play back to the theatre this Christmas. It’s always so well received by audiences and we always get comments from customers telling us that it’s one of the best nights out they’ve ever had.
"I’m particularly proud of this cast and know that both they and the audience are going to have a lot of fun!”
Not for the easily offended...
