REVIEW EXTRACTS
‘You will have seen nothing quite like it and it is well worth seeing. C’est delicious, c’est delightful, c’est divine. C’est tres magnifique!’ The Guardian (C’est Duckie!)

‘There’s nothing quite like it: bold and unique, electrifying and disarmingly humane.’ Time Out (David Hoyle)

CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
C’est Duckie! An alternative spin on progressive working class entertainment – fusing Moulin Rouge spectacle, table dancing, and new wave à la carte performance in an all singing, all dancing revuedeville. (105 mins, 7 on the road.)

David Hoyle's S.O.S One-man show from the artist formally known as The Divine David. Dealing with mental illness, drink and drug addiction, depression, HIV and Aids, and isolation – all with high camp comedy, song, dance, audience interaction and theatrical hi-jinx. In this punk-cabaret, Hoyle describes the gay scene as ‘the biggest suicide cult in history’. (75 mins approx, 3 on the road.)
