Professor Bumm's Story Machine

Professor Bumm and his assistant Doctor Whee invite you to the unveiling of his latest invention in this crackpot comedy of made up madness. Mayhem, mirth and mess are guaranteed as the two eggheads race to turn words and ideas from the audience into new stories, hopefully with the help of their unpredictable new machine. This improvised comedy show from The Black Sheep is most suitable for ages 7+

'The affable hilarity is intensified by the knowledge that they are only holding it together by the skin of their teeth. They make a great job of it and have a keen eye for material that can make young audiences roll about' The Scotsman

'Thank heaven for Professor Bumm and his story machine. The children dissolved into giggles, the parents shone, I laughed for the first time in days.' The Times

'Kids around me were rolling about in delight with their attendant adults chuckling along. Take the kids, rediscover your (preferably silly) inner child and enjoy.' Whatsonstage 4 stars

'The show is full of clever word play, silly jokes, mad improvisations and a duo of storytellers called Professor Ivor Bumm and his assistant Doctor Willy Whee. The kids love it and I really rather enjoyed it too. The standard is consistently high and this hour of madcap fun does its job.' Lyn Gardner, The Guardian
