The show was amazing, Shane is so talented.  The narrative around the dance made it very easy to appreciate and his humorous style made it entertaining.  The 2nd part – Cockney Curry House, was great.  Very different and really funny.” Pat Kynaston,Events Professional Organisers Ltd, Cheshire (who saw the show at Peel Centre, Dronfield, Live & Local  23rd November 2018)

“…excellent storytelling and characterisation skills. The audience was on it’s feet by the end.”
