A late night musical kids party, but for adults

It’s story-time, kids! Now sit still and LISTEN:

When it comes to children’s entertainment, nobody does it better than Sylvester ‘Silly’ String. A charming classical virtuoso and topdog in the lucrative West London kids’ parties market, every kid within a 5 mile radius of the King’s Road wants Silly String and his Silly Songs… until Spitta comes along. SPITTA is a Grime-obsessed maverick from East London who’s shaken up the scene and quickly become the talk of the Kensington playgrounds.

Starring Kiell Smith-Bynoe (star of BBC’s Ghosts and Taskmaster) and Ed MacArthur (Murder for Two), String V SPITTA is a musical comedy about two rival children’s entertainers, from opposite sides of the tracks, who will do anything to be number one. Think Amadeus meets Flight of the Conchords, with musical numbers directed by Dizzee Rascal.

This is one party you won’t want to miss.
