Direct from a sell out season and two nominations (Best of Festival, Most Original Show) at the 2010 Wild West Comedy Festival in Perth Western Australia, CABAHOORAY! makes its Edinburgh Festival Fringe debut with 10 shows only.

Life is a CABAh00ray, or at least it is for Darren Spandau and Dave - The most formidable duo in the world of cruise ship entertainment. They are truly captains of their own sublimely sequined ship. But... when, after 13 years at sea, the cabaret act suddenly comes ashore things go disastrously wrong. Firstly, Dave fails to show and Darren (played by acclaimed comedic actor Ben Sutton, aka Diggy Bones) is left on stage - alone! Mortified and with only a barely competent Stage Manager (played by Michel Burke) to assist him, Darren Spandau attempts to salvage his show but as it deteriorates, so too does the showman's nerves and soon glimpses of the man behind the entertainer and the ghosts of his regret become apparent. First time hypnotism, spoon bending, audience participation and multimedia with hilariously consequences are just some of the elements that make this David Lee Smyth directed production unique.

CABAHOORAY! is the ultimate tale of one man willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of entertainment. But how far will he go?
