Following last year’s sell out Fringe show, The Crunchy Frog Players, Colchester’s leading (only) comedy sketch troupe return with another show of reimagined (and lovingly butchered) iconic sketches and songs, designed to titillate, tantalize, tease and tickle and all with a distinctly local twist. Known for their Pythonesque proclivities and devotion to detail, this show will forcibly probe Colchester’s fecund history; from its Roman roots through to a vision of a dystopian future, via a wry look at Jane Taylor’s Twinkle. Disclaimer - other Colchester nursery rhymes are available. Allegedly. Will you be able to spot the classic sketches from the new, original ones? There's only one way to find out!
