Bash Street Theatre

It’s helter-skelter, roller coaster, death-defying, dangerous…life on the road is never straight forward for single dad, Joe Butler in this poignant, musical celebration of the ever-changing relationship between a father-and-son, street theatre double-act. Using a unique blend of circus skills, original songs, live music and magical illusions, The Battling Butlers is also a story of the circle of life, as the old performer inevitably makes way for the new. And it really is a family affair, performed by father and son, Simon Pullum and Lochlann Pickering, with original live music from multi-instrumentalist, Julian Gaskell.

The show is designed for both indoor and outdoor touring, with a special 40-minute version tailored for street festivals, and is suitable for all ages.
