This show is from a previous year's festival

What happens when one short Cornish woman, used to lording it about, solo, pits herself against double act Dyball & Kerr, in a tournament of ‘High class character comedy’ (Observer), with her gloves off?

Will the tag team of warring couples and dysfunctional siblings knock each other out in round one?

Will Dyball & Kerr demand a rematch as they are overcome with jealousy at Neary’s latest bit-part film appearance? (The one that has paid part way towards a new garage door?)

Come and meet the spouses and teachers alongside Neary’s best-loved characters and her brand new ones – plus the art critics, pub goers and sports fans that Dyball & Kerr have on their team.

Which one will you side with? How about cheering for:

Ryan Brogan, Folk Singing Sensation and his smash hit six notes on a recorder

‘Burlesque for Beginners’ champion Marie Barist and her Dairylea Triangle

Lee, who has wandered in and is trying to sell you some meat from a sports bag

Joanna Neary VS Dyball & Kerr – a carefully choreographed fight on the ropes of laughter. With the sponge of dreams in a dance bucket of etc

With live music by Pad Mclean.

In the blue corner – Cornwall’s Anthea Franklin (Soul Survivor) is coming up on the Coach, Darren’s waiting outside with a bag of meat, Barbara might plan a night with your boyfriend and Ryan Brogan will cause a divorce. East Yorkshire’s Jimmy Hendricks softens the blow with lovely Live Music. 

We invite you to enter the fray

BUT WHO WILL WIN? (We know already, we wrote it).
