Admin
Long before Private Eye, Charlie Hebdo, and even before Bill Bailey - there was Voltaire. Voltaire created the naive and hopeful young Candide and Candide has faith. Candide believes in humanity. Now humanity is on trial. Join Babolin as they test Candide's faith in their own gloriously salty ensemble musical style, with a posse of potty gnomes, some puppets, a syphilitic philosopher Dr Pangloss and an Aussie aunt with only one buttock. Yes, it's the world's greatest satire. Live. Told the Babolin way #pottygnomeparty. 'The talent of this incredible ensemble is quite stunning' (FringeReview.co.uk).
