Performer Name: Half Moon Presents

Show Name: Jack & The Beanstalk (Sort Of) - a Kid Carpet & The Noisy Animals production

Show Description

Family theatre and rock star legend Kid Carpet is back with a totally brand new show! Kid Carpet hates panto. The Noisy Animals absolutely love it. So guess what they’re doing? Yep. A panto. Now there’s a beanstalk in the middle of everything and nobody’s quite sure what’s going on. Featuring Bear, Gorilla, Badger and Hedgehog (with possible appearances from Hedgehog’s golden eggs), this is Jack & the Beanstalk like it’s been thrown in a blender with a drum machine and dodgy celebrity lookalikes. Part air guitar workshop, part magical mess, this lo-fi, hi-tech, big-beat bonkers show is stuffed with songs, silliness and surprise grannies. Bring your kids. Bring yer nan. Bring snacks. It’s theatre, but it’s loud, proud and completely off its bean(stalk). Perfect for ages 3–10, families, party monsters and fans of noisy nonsense.
