The Sailors

Roving Troupe - Sponsored by Medlock


Prepare to be piped aboard the good ship Unsinkable II as the captain and his hapless cadet make the rounds ensuring that everything is all shipshape and Bristol fashion.

They are on the lookout for new crew to join them on their voyages if only they could remember where theyʼd anchored up.

They’ll have you in stitches as they demonstrate the complex and comical art of tying knots whilst making a right captain’s mess of it.
Learn how to order a coffee and doughnut using semaphore flags and what to do in the event of hitting an iceberg. Join these two not-so-able seamen for some hilarious maritime mayhem and nautical nonsense. Guaranteed to cause a right splash!
