Having a Ball
by Alan Bleasdale

This outrageously funny adult comedy returns to the Queens Theatre by popular demand – for a short run prior to its National Tour.

Three men anxiously wait their turn for a vasectomy operation in a private clinic where nose-jobs and face-lifts are the stock-in-trade but, even before their operations begin hilarious’ complications set in. A riotous, knockabout comedy!

“Outrageous, though provoking, embarrassing, hilariously funny…” Thurrock Gazette

“A bombshell of a production” Romford Observer
