We’ve got something for everyone, from fan favourite classics to exciting new additions and we’re thrilled to be going back to some incredible theatres around the UK. See you there.”
The show delves into the cultural soul of the past as well as covering iconic comedy sketches and adverts in an evening of time travel through one of music’s golden eras.
