Twonkey's Zip Wire to Zanzibar

Award winning Vaudevillian fringe firebrand Paul Vickers hits the town with his new Twonkey chapter house of wizardry and wonder.

Performed this time out in drag as Twonketta, Twonkey’s widow, a lady who is somewhat late for church. This year it’s a thriller about rival roller coasters and fairgrounds set by a smokey lagoon in a valley once owned by ex-milkman turned singer Shakin’ Stevens.

“You arrive at suspense by letting the audience in. By not concealing things”

Alfred Hitchcock

“I wasn't sure if it was a horse or a lion”

Jim Henson

Featuring a Steve Martin puppet made from sanitary towels and the pocket princess Tutti Cnutti back after blowing her top last year. It's time to get wild, giddy and very silly.

It's Twonkey's 13th fringe show. He must be doing something right or maybe he's mad as a lorry.

“Clowning at its very best” ★★★★★ Kate Copstick, The Scotsman

“His idiotic joy is infectious: he is a masterclass in play” ★★★★★ Neurodiverse Review

"He’s in a league of his own" ★★★★ North West End

"Wonderfully weird, it’s very funny" ★★★★ Broadway Baby

Previously a winner of the Malcolm Hardee Award for Comic Originality.

"Artistry and eccentricity combine in Twonkey’s world"

Steve Bennett, Chortle

"It wouldn't be the Fringe without Twonkey" The Skinny
