Holey cow! Strap in for a hole hour of hole-hearted belly laughs.

When Father Garth tells his congregation he’s received a divine vision commanding them to plug-eth up thy butts with butt plugs to survive the apocalypse, he’s met with scepticism. But years later, he’s vindicated when The Great Sucking happens! All sinners (or those without something up their butt at the time) are sucked up into the sky ass-first, never to be seen again. But, after surviving the will of a wrathful God, they find they still cannot remove the butt plugs without being sucked off into the sky.

Hole! is a bizarre and brilliant coming of age love story, following two young men, Connor and Luke, as they wrestle with faith, repression and their feelings for each other in a surreal apocalyptic world.

Equipped only with a keyboard and a folding table littered with random objects, American Sing Song deliver this hilarious and wildly inventive musical romp. The singing is impressive, the songs are sharp and hysterical, the characters are performed with total commitment. As for the live sound effects? The sound of a car was made by holding a vibrator to a plastic cup – inspired.

Every part of the show is carefully considered, right down to the donut hair styles on their heads. A must see.

Hole!
