Keeping the Captain Warm is a plate full of weird faces, surreal sketches and polo necks. Oyster Eyes would like to take you back to the days of the old woman who swallowed a fly and kick you forward to a time when Tina Turner has to impersonate herself just to get work. These are hard times and Oyster Eyes want you to sit back, relax and escape into a world much better than yours. 'Genius' **** (ThreeWeeks), 'They make The Mighty Boosh look positively sane and boring' (British Comedy Guide).

This year's show is a devised selection of sketches, characters and chats with the audience. We are experimenting with the boundaries of live art and comedy in the hope to provide the audience with a genuinely unique, visually exciting and truly hilarious show.

As a collective Oyster Eyes offers something a bit different and would love to share the joy. The company's first show, His Eyes were like Oysters was first performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2010. It then went onto Camden People's Theatre as part of Scenepool, and Embrace Arts Centre and Nottingham Castle as part of HATCH, as well as performing at a variety of comedy nights in London, including The Fix presents The Fringe in Five and Knock2Bag comedy night.

After meeting at Bretton Hall the performers of Oyster Eyes have separately devised various shows including, Alone Time, Help Yourself, and Eat Me which have toured throughout the UK at various venues and Festivals including; BAC, Arts Depot's Untapped Festival, Manchester's Greenroom, Arnolfini, The Etcetera Theatre as part of Camden Fringe, The Space's Enterprise Festival, Southwark Playhouse, Oxford Playhouse and others. Phoebe won 2009's Method Lab commission for new theatre from Manchester's Greenroom. Well done her. Liam is the regular compere at That Time of the Month Comedy Club in Newport Pagnell where he has shared a stage with many of Edinburgh's favourite comics including Marcel Lucont, Gary Delaney, Nick Helm, Andi Osho and Sarah Millican.
