Oh wow, the last two years have been awful haven’t they?

So what do we do now? Just power through? Laugh and pretend it’s definitely fine?

Or deal with the trauma of multiple lockdowns, emotional shutdowns and total breakdowns?

In “Dance Like It Never Happened” musical comedians Jonny & The Baptists are gonna try to do it all. Grieve, bounce back, have a cry and then do the Macarena. It’ll be the funniest, most joyful and uplifting show you will ever see about feeling totally bereaved.

Through their trademark blend of joyful songs, silly stand-up and riotous storytelling Jonny & The Baptists should help you find meaning, humour and beauty in the worst years of the century (so far).
