IF YOU ONLY HAVE TIME FOR ONE EVENT...

what's up?
Chestnuts is back, and ready to rule them all! After a year MIA, the irrepressible Jon and Sean are back for the 6th instalment of their 2-man comedy sketch show, with even more madcap, raunchy, utterly irreverent parody fun! Chestnuts Unloaded is a highly energetic mix of original comic satires shaken, stirred and blended together to create a unique, fluid stage experience as hilarious as it is unpredictable.

And this year's targets are many ... from Chicago to The Esplanade, Oliver! to Forbidden City, Bent to the Black Pearl, Frodo to Avril Lavigne, 8 Mile to 15 and Magneto to the Matrix ...
PLUS a very special pink tribute to this year's very gay theatre scene!!

... nothing escapes our cyclop eye...

So get ready… what better way to wind up the year than to unwind with this intoxicating dose of merciless spoofs, twisted lyrics and multi-directional parodies? So get ready to leave political correctness at the door as you enter Chestnuts territory!!

Evidence of decadence...



A toast to Kelvin!



Kenny, resident balloon-twister, enchanting Mel.



Mel, absolutely freaked out by the balloons,
while Adrian enjoys her pain.
