Around the World in 80s Days

31st July to 31st August 2019

Join us for our Blackpool Grand Productions play filled with 80s nostalgia, Around the World in 80s Days. Written and Directed by Ian McFarlane, this world premiere tells the story of Phileas Fogg with some of the best songs from the 1980s.

This musical adventure is fantastic for the entire family; watch the fabulous British gentleman Phileas Fogg and his valet travelling around the world on a bet, which could cost the former his entire fortune. From dastardly villains to hilarious situations and dangerous locales, you’re sure to have a great time.

 

Steve Royle’s Comedy Chaos for Kids

6th August to 28th August 2019

We’ve teamed up with Pantomime Veteran and BBC Radio Lancashire star Steve Royle and Special Guest Magician Russ Brown for the fantastic Steve Royle’s Comedy Chaos for Kids. As a 16-year performer in Pantos here at the Grand, Royle entertains over 50,000 people every year – as well as having been voted ‘Entertainer of the Year’ at the Red Rose Awards and having supported both Dave Spikey and Peter Kay on tour.

This is the first dedicated Summer Show not only for the little ones but also for the entire family. You can expect crazy gags, audience participation, loud music, and much more as per Brown’s style. He’s won the coveted Ken Dodd Comedy Award in 2009 with his work in theatre for kids.
