# Event Details

- **Event Name**: At The Drop Of Another Hippopotamus at Theatre Royal Workington
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 06 Dec, 2025 at 03:00 pm – Sat, 06 Dec, 2025 at 05:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Bob Pritchard and Mike Ames celebrate the comic genius of Flanders and Swann.
Michael Flanders and Donald Swann enjoyed huge success in the late 50’s and early 60’s with two shows they referred to as “a farrago” : “At the Drop of a Hat”, and “At the Drop of Another Hat”. Many of the songs from those shows are instantly recognizable and, remarkably, appeal to all age-groups 60 years later.
Bob and Mike first performed together in a barber-shop quartet 35 years ago, but only recently discovered they share a life-long admiration for all things Flanders and Swann. Mike is much in demand locally as a jazz pianist and Musical Director. Bob was one of the founding members of CADS and later Director of Arts Out West. He sings with Dave Camlin’s “Wild Chorus.”
Following a well-received performance at Cockermouth Live! Festival in July 2024, Bob and Mike now present a full evening of Flanders’ fabulous wordplay and Swann’s endlessly inventive musicality. The Hippopotamus will be there, of course, as will the Gnu, and the Whale. But we won’t spend all our time in the zoo. There are slow trains and a somewhat faster bus; there are cannibals and fly-tippers. songs of protest and ballads of unrequited love.
Admission is £10 including homemade cake and tea or coffee.  Tickets are available on line:
