This is a rare opportunity to enjoy classic Bonzo material performed live by original members of the much-loved Bonzo Bog Doo-Dah Band.
 In 2006 the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band re-formed after 35 years in limbo. All the surviving original members were there including Bob Kerr and the legendary Vernon Dudley Bowhay-Nowell. The gigs were received with great acclaim and the re-energised Bonzos soon found performing nationwide tours to full houses and rave reviews. In 2007 a brilliant new studio album was recorded with the help of some new millennium Bonzos such as Stephen Fry, Phill Jupitus and Adrian Edmondson. Alas all good things come to an end and last year the Bonzos decided to finally call it a day and went their own separate ways once more.
For Bob and Vernon, the buzz of meeting the fans again and performing the material was such fun that it seemed a crime to halt the Bonzo rollercoaster ride. The duo therefore hit on the idea of “The Bonzomania Show”, focusing on the vaudeville aspects of the Bonzos and including a medley of their hit.
For over forty years Bob Kerr and his Whoopee Band have travelled the length and breadth of Europe and beyond with their madcap brand of musical humour, described as a cross between Spike Jones, The Marx Brothers and Monty Python so the correct musical forces were on hand to attempt the impossible. Mix the Bonzos with the New Vaudeville Band, The Alberts, and The Temperance Seven.
 So grab your ticket now and prepare for a hilarious musical assault, a non-stop show of unashamed nostalgia, honest fun and great entertainment from the 1920s right up to today.
Just a few of the songs you will hear include Jollity Farm, Hunting Tigers, My Brother Makes The Noises For The Talkies, I’m The Urban Spaceman, Doctor Jazz, Button Up Your Overcoat, A Room With A View, The Sheik Of Araby, Home In Pasedena, You’re Driving Me Crazy, Cocktails For Two, Winchester Cathedral, You Always Hurt The One You Love, Crazy Words Crazy Tune along with other Bonzo favourites.
Don’t miss it whatever you do......
