Them With Frozen Tails
2005-07, 2009-10, UK, Poland. Ages 5+
About
A co-production with Network of Stuff Theatre
Two unlikely tales – and one impossible one…
Following their 2005-2007 tour, more silliness abounds as Them With Tails spin their latest unlikely yarns. And this time it’s cold!
Take two preposterously funny chaps. Some arctic animals. A touch of frost. Add two improbable tails and three seasonal stories from around the world – one created live from audience suggestions in an impossible act of on-the-spot invention.
The result? A hilarious, utterly festive alternative to pantomime for all the family. And you’ll never see the same show twice!
A masterclass in storytelling from the people who brought you The Gruffalo and The Pickled King.
‘If only some adult theatre was as witty and inventive as this’ (The Times )
‘If Them With Tails were any more fun it would probably be outlawed’ (Three Weeks )

Audience comments
After taking my children to see The Owl & The Pussycat I had no hesitation in booking to see Them With Tails and I’m glad I did. Not only were my children in tears (with laughter!) me and my wife were too! Excellent show, excellent Performance, Just excellent! This show has it all! Stories, participation, improvisation! Different every time? I hope so as my family will definitely be back to see it! Well done!
David Jones
We have just seen them at Cavalry Primary School and they were so funny we loved them! They were brilliant and we can’t wait to see them again.
Jack and Lily Davis
We have just come back from watching ‘Them with Tails’ at Thriplow Village Hall and we thought it was completely brilliant. The rapport between Thomas and Felix shone through, and I just felt so pleased that I could watch something this good in a little village hall. It’s definitely the funniest thing I have seen this year.
