Fascinating Aida
04 April 7:30 PM
Happy Birthday Fascinating Aida! Britain’s top female comedy trio are 25 years old. Well, actually, they’re older than that (Dillie Keane formed FA in 1983), but the girls have decided their Silver Jubilee can be celebrated for a few more years at least.
For those of you who thought they’d retired, this isn’t a comeback; it’s a chance for you to help them celebrate this auspicious birthday. They’re doing it for the fun, not the money, which will soon be worthless anyway.
Dillie, Adele and Liza look forward to entertaining you with some new songs. Thrill to the beauty of the harmonies, marvel at the intricate rhymes and, if you’re one of their older fans, remember to switch your hearing aid to the theatre’s loop system to avoid unpleasant whistling.
