Bluesky people!!!
Please share this if you know any families in the North West who are stupid!

Due to popular demand my completely sold-out Edinburgh Festival kids’ comedy show is coming to the Lowry in Salford on March 2nd - tickets are already going fast

OLAF FALAFEL’S STUPIDEST SUPER STUPID SHOW SO FAR

Winner of the Best Kids’ Show at the 2024 Leicester Comedy Festival

After a sell out run at last year’s Fringe, comedian and children's author Olaf Falafel is dishing up another frying pan full of family-friendly comedy.

The comedy show comedians take their kids to is back and even funnier! Join Olaf Falafel (if that is his real name) for an hour of kid's comedy which will be the stupidest he has ever let trickle from his brain. Expect sausage birds, radioactive bogies and truth-telling cheese. There will definitely be a time-travelling portal to the future, some farts and a live drawalong.

Be there or be a dodecahedron!

"Olaf is a very funny plonker and I fully recommend taking your family to see this plonker so they can learn that being a plonker is one of the most fun things in the world"
Alex Horne

“Olaf Falafel is a perfectly ridiculous festival must see”
