Best of performance in December: Suits you, sir

Legendary British sketch show The Fast Show is making a one-off trip to Denmark on December 7. 

The production is the brainchild of British actor Martin Popplewell, who is well-known to CTC audiences thanks to star turns in its pantos Old King Cole and Aladdin.

He obtained permission to use the material from Fast Show co-creator Charlie Higson (Swiss Toni and Ralph). 

Among the performers are Popplewell, Danish Rugby League president Steven Davy, and CTC regulars Nino Burini and Dawn Wall.

A Folk Tale 
Described as Bournonville’s most Danish ballet, A Folk Tale is equally at home among the aristocracy as the troll underworld. A hero has until sunset to save his bride, but who will he choose?

Donka

Joyride & Your Majesties
