Milton Jones Brings Critically Acclaimed Show, Temple Of Daft, To St. Helens.

Due to popular demand, one-liner king Milton Jones is adding a further 71 dates to his critically acclaimed U.K. tour, Temple of Daft, which includes a visit to St. Helens Theatre Royal on Wednesday 11th November and tickets are on sale now.

In total, Milton will perform 170 dates from February to November 2015. Having already received phenomenal five and four star reviews, this show is certainly one to watch.

The show is a side-splitting tale of a madcap journey as Milton follows in the footsteps of his great-uncle (who looks suspiciously like Milton). Unlike his previous shows it’s a story, but there are still lots and lots of ridiculous gags as well as the trademark multi-coloured shirts and big hair.

Hey Girl, Show Us Your Tips. Theatre Review, St. Helens Theatre Royal.

 

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 7/10

Cast: Mickey Finn, Clare Bowles, Charlie Griffiths, Lynne Fitzgerald.

As with many old, but undeniably great, habits and ways, the great British local pub, the bastion of native ways and hopes and drama, has for many years been on the road to serious decline. Cheap alternatives driven by greed and solitude have become the normal pursuit in some respects that the social constraints in which bound a community, a section of the communal population together has been driven headlong into a nearby abyss of soulless apathy.
