Audiences have said:
“A riotous hoot! Like a history class with your favourite comedians!”
“Genuinely hilarious”
“Hilarious, emotive, thought-provoking – a history lover’s dream!”
"A fresh, brilliantly clever and hilarious show which explores the minds of some of the most famous names in royal history! "
" a battle of royal egos for the ages!"
"Funny, original and plain bonkers! "
What happens when you force Henry VIII, Marie Antoinette, and a host of infamous royals into a room to talk about their feelings? A hysterical historical mash-up where Kings clash, therapy endures, and laughter reigns supreme.
Starring Kat Marchant (YouTube’s Reading the Past) as Dr. Thompson!
The Monarchs are definitely not amused. Marie is moping, Mansa Musa’s in a mood, and Tutankhamun has tottered off back to his mummy. Worse still, someone has leaked their secrets to the press! Can our long-suffering therapist stop the session from descending into absolute chaos?
Pull up a throne and come face-to-face with the biggest egos of the last 600 years. They are unfit to rule, unwilling to change, and quite frankly, a right royal pain in the past.
Join us for a royal appointment you won’t forget. No time machine required!
