Spice up your February with Charity Variety Show

A fun night of comedy, music, slapstick and magic is coming to Babbacombe Theatre on Friday 21 February.   The hosts and producers, of what promises to be a fantastic night of entertainment, are London-based comedy duo Revan and Fennell, aka Rosie and Alice.  Not only did they win the coveted Funny Women Variety Award for 2013 they have also appeared at various London theatres as well as the Brighton and Edinburgh Fringe Festivals.

This fantastic evening is all in aid of local charity, Torbay Holiday Helpers Network (THHN) and is being put on with the huge support of Babbacombe Theatre along with sponsorship from Babbacombe Model Village.  Brian Lewis, Fundraising Manager for the THHN, said “We are very excited about this event.  It should be an excellent evening and is ideal for all ages so people can bring the whole family along.”  He added “It’s completely different from any other fundraising event that we’ve had before and gives people the chance for a fun night out whilst also raising valuable funds for the THHN.”

Alice hails from the area  and when she and Rosie heard about the work of the THHN they were determined to produce a fundraising variety night to help raise money.  As well as Revan and Fennel themselves, the show will also feature extreme juggler and Britain’s Got Talent semi-finalist, Phil Blackmore, comedian and magician Stu Turner, slapstick male trio “Three Half Pints” and Tamar Broadbent, a multi-talented singer, composer and comedienne.
