All aboard the Magical History Tour! A completely ridiculous and unofficial journey through the world of the Fab Four with the Helter Skelter comedy of the Honky Bonk Comrades. John Lennon famously said: 'You can only find truth through absurdity'. But could he handle the nonsense required to tell the real Beatles story? Strap in, it's gonna get weird. Hostorically accurate, 'Irresistibly funny' (Chortle.co.uk). 'Brilliant, inventive ... far beyond silly' (Londonist.com). 'Downright hilarious ... comedy that deserves to be commended for challenging the boundaries and creating an unforgettable experience' (BroadwayBaby.com).
