Ten years ago, my best friend Tom was diagnosed with heart cancer and given three months to live. His last wish was to have a full Viking burial. So I gave him one.

Team Viking tells the remarkable, hilarious and heart-lifting story of how I actually managed to give my best mate the send-off he wanted. Blending storytelling, music, comedy and even a genuine Viking helmet, it’s a comic ode to death, friendship and the beautiful absurdity of life.

The show premiered in a tiny meeting room at the 2016 Edinburgh Fringe and became a breakthrough hit: critically acclaimed, completely sold out, and the beginning of my career as a contemporary storyteller. Since then it has toured hundreds of times across the UK and beyond.

Doors Open at 7:00PM

Starts at 7:30PM

Tickets £10, £8 (+ booking fee)


Accessibility: The venue is all based on the ground floor and so accessible for most wheelchairs. We have some limited disabled parking and an accessible toilet. If you have any specific access needs or would like more information, please call us or email so we can ensure your visit is as enjoyable as possible.

Now, ten years on, this modern classic returns for a special anniversary edition - as funny, raw and joyous as ever.
