MORECAMBE WARLERS
Go All The Way in
THE FULL MONTY
Come along and watch Morecambe Warblers take off their hats and much more in the Zip Splitting Musical Production of THE FULL MONTY.

The musical is hilarious, sad and thoughtful with a terrific score. You will, without a doubt, enjoy a great girls/boys night out. When Warblers last performed the Full Monty in 2007 it played to full houses, so don't be dissapointed and book early. ADULTS ONLY OVER 16's

An envelope stuffed full of my own hand-chiselled lovingly created
jokes, versus a bag of ‘life’ (not insulin: anecdotes, observations).
But which is funniest?
Let's decide together.
"filled with prime laugh-out-loud stupid moments" ***** LIST
"the best, as well as the most natural stand-up I've seen at the
Fringe this year... Expect Alun Cochrane to be filling arenas soon."
INDEPENDENT
NB: I don’t really fancy playing Arena's but I’d love to sell-out
bigger theatres so I’m prepared to take this compliment on my comedy
potential in the spirit it was intended.

Back to back tracks from the infamous album will be performed and then will be followed in the second half by an array of Greatest Hits that U2 have ever performed.
