Based on the 1970s classic TV comedy, some mothers do ‘Ave ‘em makes its rounds on the 2022 UK tour after a huge success in 2018.
From DIY disasters and other hilarious mishaps quite literally brings the Spencer’s house down.
Sweet and accident-prone Frank Spencer receives exciting news about his dream of becoming a magician could be real. Betty his wife has wonderful news of her own but crossed wires and a dastard dinner party full of misunderstanding is what is being served for dinner. This show is quite Frank-ly, it’s a hit!
The show is just under 2 hours including interval.
