What do you get when you cross a headless chicken, a hoedown, and a heap of outrageous farmyard fun? You get CLUCK! – the brand-new musical comedy from Devon’s Stowaway Theatre, landing on the main stage at Barnfield Theatre for Elevate Festival on Wednesday 15 October 2025.
Inspired by the unbelievable true story of Mike the Headless Chicken – who lived for 18 months without a head in 1940’s Colorado – this musical romp is packed with live music, puppetry, audience games, and more chicken puns than you can shake a drumstick at.
The chickens themselves take centre stage, inviting audiences on a wild ride through Mike’s rise to fame. From barnyard ballads to sideshow shenanigans, surreal science lessons to clucking good comedy numbers, CLUCK! promises a hilarious, toe-tapping 45 minutes that will leave audiences of all ages grinning from beak to beak.
Expect:
A farmyard chorus like you’ve never seen before…
Banjo-pickin’, foot-stompin’ live music…
Comedy sketches and chicken-themed chaos…
Puppetry and playful audience interaction…
And the most legendary bird in history – Mike the Headless Chicken!
