Dave was in the original cast of CATS. On opening night he was sacked. He was not a happy pussy.
After a sold out run at the 2014 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, this comedy about the greatest musical star that never got to shine finally makes it to the Baby Grand.
Starring Gerard McCarthy, CAT isn’t so much a love letter to musical theatre . . . more a death threat.
Not for the faint hearted: contains high kicks and swearing!
Written by Jamie Beamish & Richard Hardwick.

“This is a fantastic show that I had the pleasure of watching last year. Funny, intelligent and black humour at it’s best, you will never view the musical cats quite the same way” – Gerard McCarthy is amazing.
