Edmond Tahl - Stuff and Things on Promenade, MablethorpeProgramme of Events


Saturday Sept 20th

Edmond Tahl - Stuff and Things on Promenade, Mablethorpe
Walkabout Mime Show With Soundtrack. Edmond accidentally finds himself trapped in a perpendicular world of absurdity, where the bizarre is always close on his heels. Amidst a reality of swarming angry bees, spaghetti western gun fights, alarm bells, improbably large monsters, ringing telephones, crashing glass, low flying helicopters, packs of hunting hounds, squeaky prams etc etc…. he attempts to keep his composure.

The Strongman - Red Sarah on Seafront, Mablethorpe
See this Mighty Man of Muscles! He who leaves ladies weeping - at the mere sight of him.
His show involves an array of serious lifting, Globe spinning and acrobatic feats!
He is indeed, the only man alive who can lift a ton with his posterior! A truly original Fairground attraction for the modern eyes!

The Strongman - Red Sarah on Seafront, MablethorpeMadame Bentley brings good luck to all - Liz Bentley in Mablethorpe
Direct from a succesful run at this year's Edinburgh Festival. Visit Madame Bentley in her hut of good luck. Liz Bentley is a musician, comedienne, poet, writer and therapist who aims to sort out the future of Maplethorpe seasiders! Come into the hut individually, with friends or family and ask Liz for what you require. An alternative to a fortune teller! No two visits will be the same. So do you feel lucky? "Like a female Ivor Cutler" The Scotsman.

Shiznitz! in Hut and Seafront, Mablethorpe
The team that bought 'See the Strange Thing' to last year's festival now bring us the musical mayhem of Shiznitz! Shiznitz! are a four piece musical ensemble, performing mostly original material. A rabble rousing raucous skiffle folk cabaret, incorporating banjos, giant plant pot one string bass, suitcase drum kit, fiddle, saw, ukelele, guitar, spoons, washboard, concertina, melodeon, kazoo and lots of singing.
They will play in front of their beach hut base or stroll the promenade stopping to deliver impromptu musical entertainment to the public.

Labyrinth at Equinox - Linda King in a Hut and Beach, Mablethorpe
Land artist Linda King creates art with natural materials and found objects. She will create a full scale labyrinth on the beach. Come and watch, help and on Saturday evening come and walk the candle lit maze to celebrate the winter equinox.

Tiddy Mun- Frolicked on Beach, Mablethorpe
Tiddy Mun was an old bearded spirit that could be called upon to rid the flood waters around the carrs, North Lincolnshire, where he resides. Locals would call: "Tiddy Mun without a name, the water's rough!" And Tiddy Mun would do his work...A beach based puppet show for all the family.

Sunday Sept 21st.

Flights of Fondant Fancy - Dodgy Totty on Promanade, MablethorpeThe Road to Nowhere - Ramshacklicious on Promanade, Mablethorpe
Nana is at death's door but until her three grandsons are happily married she cannot rest in peace!
But who will be good enough for Nana's Boys?
Nobody knows how long they've been travelling, not even them. Dragging Nana's redundant coffin and dressed in dishevelled wedding apparel, their quest has become a sideshow of serenades, a never-ending search for the perfect bride!

Flights of Fondant Fancy - Dodgy Totty on Promanade, Mablethorpe
The return of Dodgy Totty, who wowed us with 'Ladies of the Waves' last year with a new performance set in a 1940s teashop.
