“Oh, Mr Horne! How bona to vada your dolly old eek!”
From the producers of the UK tours of The Goon Show and Hancock’s Half Hour comes another radio comedy classic live on stage.
From 1965 to 1968 there wasn’t a bigger radio programme in Britain than the ground-breaking Round the Horne. For half-an-hour every Sunday afternoon, audiences of up to 15 million people would gather around the wireless to listen to Kenneth Horne and his merry crew get up to all sorts of mischief.
With its infamous movie spoofs and hilarious regular characters such as Rambling Sid Rumpo, Charles and Fiona, J. Peasemold Gruntfuttock, and Julian and Sandy, Round the Horne was one of the biggest and best radio comedy shows of all time, and still endures today, 50 years on.
So come and take a step back in time to the BBC’s Paris Studios and experience this comedy classic live.
DID YOU KNOW?
Kenneth Horne attended St George's School, Harpenden as a boarder—the seventh of the Horne children to attend the school.[9][a] Although he was not strong academically,[11] he developed into a good sportsman, representing the school in rugby and cricket,[12] and during the summer holidays took part in the Public Schoolboys Lawn Tennis Championship at Queen's Club; in his final appearance in 1925 he was knocked out by the future Wimbledon finalist Bunny Austin.[13]

With over 15 years of dedication to the role, Kelly’s uncanny look and sound-a-like, embodies Lennon’s voice, presence, and artistry with remarkable authenticity, having the rare combination of the natural vocal timbre and vocal talent with the youthfulness and visual appearance of John Lennon – backed by a five-piece powerhouse band, he presents an elegant journey through the brilliant music of Lennon (and McCartney), witness first-hand stories about Lennon’s catalogue all the way from "Please Please Me" to "Double Fantasy", with ten years of solo hits and a carefully selected collection of the undeniable B-side favourites fans will love to hear.
A gifted musician with a longstanding background in drama and musical theatre, Kelly’s performance is deeply personal, shaped by a lifelong passion for The Beatles and a deep connection to Lennon and his song writing. Talent is in the blood, hailing from a rich musical heritage - his father, Tom Kelly, co-wrote iconic hits, including “Like a Virgin” (Madonna), “True Colors” (Cyndi Lauper) amongst others.
