Rock music, Drumming, Paint balling with a lot of bog roll.

Post 3 covers it .

EXSCOOBY, that is why I asked where Nat21 was seeing it. I saw it in New york and it was excellent. The theater in NY is tiny and only a couple of hundred people can get in. That is what it was made for. Now they do it in massive places in Vegas and germany I think it would be crap. I would go and see it again in either Boston or NY but when I was staying in the venitian in vegas (where it is shown) I did not want to go because I thought it is the wrong arena

Are they worth seeing?

I've been to the one in London and it's feckin brilliant, but if you're in the front 2 rows, then wear old clothes although they will give you a cover to wear.

I saw them in Boston earlier in the year - I loved them.

Very very visual, great visual humour and they play great rock music with emphasis on percussion instuments such as drums and things make out of drain-pipes.

Plenty of audience participation, so when stuff is handed out, look around and find people who have been before and copy them. Can be confusing first time.

Stay away from the front few rows, these get handed ponchos to keep them dry.

Yep also saw this show when I was in Vegas last year. Not a bad show, something a bit different and hey it's a night out (or a good time filler )

Ive seen this group in London. When over in New York I tried to see them there but was too busy / no tickets. So, when it came to London, I was well pleased and got tickets.

But......... I was disappointed. I thought it would be better. Ok, its funny, but very American. They throw food about, and catch via mouthes. If you sit on the first few rows, you do get covered in paint though. Also, at one stage, towards the end, tons of printer like print streams to come down from the top of the threatre ?

Its ok, perhaps the show in the US would of been better. Still worth seeing though.
