Meet the Acts
THE GIDDY AUNTS
Whether it’s their bunions, the 'youth of today' or a general grumble about society's downfalls, these two moaning minnies just can't resist a good gripe, and they don't care who hears them!
POSTCARD POSERS
Oh we do like to be beside the seaside! Meet Millie and Willy, the 50s throwbacks; they just can't help getting into trouble. Hold onto your ice creams when this hapless duo are around; there's sure to be high jinx aplenty!
THE ARTY FARTIES
Bonjour! If you love creativity, if you love style, if you love art... you've come to the wrong place! The Arty Farties are a pair of dedicated artists who never let a thing like a lack of talent get in the way of success. A hilarious pair of comical caricaturists that will be a fantastic addition to any festival or gathering.
CLARENCE THE CAMEL
Partly due to his theatrical upbringing – he’s had years of treading the boards the length and breadth of the country – this mangy, moth-eaten old Pantomime Camel can be prone to throwing a diva-strop. Better not to get on the wrong side of him or boy, does he get the hump! So, watch out! He has some DISGUSTING habits.......
"The Shenanigans presented their homage to 50s saucy postcards during the Birdhouse Family Festival 2015. This nostalgic walkabout act, Postcard Posers, drew highly entertained crowds on both the beach and promenade with physical slapstick and silly gags."
CHARLOTTE BOWEN
FESTIVAL DIRECTOR
BIRDHOUSE FAMILY FESTIVAL
“It was a lovely sunny day with lots of visitors on the beach and Clarence was a huge success entertaining the crowds with his comedy act. It’s a really family friendly act and works really well with children.”
CAROLINE MOORBY
ARTS DEVELOPMENT OFFICER NORTH EAST LINCOLNSHIRE COUNCIL
“They came to our family fun day and they were fun with a capital F!!!
It was like watching a pair of pied pipers; a trail of children following the Giddy Aunts around the centre, getting well and truly wrapped up in their woolly antics!
I would recommend them to anyone planning an event; their performances were brilliant and appealed to all the family. My jaw ached I laughed so much!”
RACHEL MCWILLIAM
ARTS DEVELOPMENT OFFICER
LINCS INSPIRE
“So pleased that we invited Shenanigans to our ‘It’s a Knockout’ event.
They performed both ‘The Postcard Posers’ and ‘The Giddy Aunts’, which were hugely enjoyed by the large number of spectators who came to the event.
We can highly recommend them.”
TIM DONOVAN
ACTIVITIES CHAIRMAN
HUMBERSTON NORTH SEA LIONS CLUB
“The Shenanigans have performed for us on our seafront Street Theatre projects for some years now, developing and conceiving new acts each year. The characters they bring along have always proved immensely popular, and their interaction with the public is to a first class professional level. ”

"The Giddy Aunts are fantastic! They had us in stitches all day and our visitors loved them. We will definitely be booking again.
The act was hilarious and helped to make the day so much fun. Our visitors had a great time.
So, so funny. They had me crying with laughter!!!"
LOUISE BOWEN
COLLECTIONS DOCUMENTATION OFFICER
FISHING HERITAGE CENTRE
Taking wandering performance to a new level with family friendly humour and physical comedy, Shenanigans delivered an amazing range of performances throughout the day. Professionally delivered with hilarious costumes, they engaged all ages and ensured our event was full of fun and frolic. Can’t wait to see where they will pop up next causing mayhem....more than likely at another of our events.

THINK TANK ASSOCIATES
Louth was treated to a great dose of The Shenanigans on Saturday. They inserted some lively good humour and silliness into an unseasonably dull August day,
whether quizzing locals as the Sherlock Crones, or turning a bank ATM queue into a shrieking hen-do as the Giddy Aunts. Pre-schoolers and retirees alike didn’t hesitate to join in the fun. We will definitely have The Shenanigans back to liven up our town again!
