Event Details
Submitted by the Event Organizer
Baddest. Cowboy. Texas. These are just a few words to describe the Baddest Cowboy in Texas. He roots n’ toots n’ roots from the mightiest mountains to the sauciest saloons. But what happens when a Badder Cowboy-er Texas-er (AKA his nemesis) rides into town and steals his title?
BANGTAIL is an epic tale of a man in search of his manhood. So saddle up for an hour of unbridled cowboy clown chaos as our hero journeys from the Wild West to the American office.
Fresh from a sold out tour in the US (March 2024), a sold-out run in Edinburgh, and a transfer to SOHO Theatre in London BANGTAIL is back in his home territory and … dare he say it … on the road again!
