Sammy J & Randy in AFTER SCHOOL SNACK
After six months on the road, including sell-out seasons at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and appearances on ‘Spicks and Specks’, Sammy J returns home to The Butterfly Club! He will be once again joined by the foul-mouthed puppet Randy, voiced and operated by Heath McIvor (fresh from his international tour of ‘Walking With Dinosaurs’). Once again they’ll create late-night mayhem in a melting pot of current affairs, hilarious songs, audience interaction and ridiculous tales from the week gone by. Their last season was a cult-hit and bookings are strongly recommended!
