Butlers by name, not by nature, the Battling Butlers contemporary variety show is the creation of a double act attached by an invisible thread.
A proper family affair, it’s performed by real-life father and son duo, Simon Pullum and Loki Pickering and is full of engaging tales of everyday life.
Juggling babies, toddlers on stilts and teaching his young son, Joey to ride his first unicycle are all part of everyday life for single dad, Joe Butler, in what this sweet and affecting account of family love and the evolving relationship of a father and a son.
Through an entertaining mix of physical theatre, circus skills, original songs and live – and lively – music, the Battling Butlers also muse over role reversal and the inevitability of change, as the old order makes way for the new.

From Bash Street Theatre, based in Cornwall, Pullum and Pickering – with original music from Julian Gaskell – will be bringing their act to Yetminster Jubilee Hall, Sherborne this evening, Friday, March 24, and Child Okeford Village Hall, Blandford on Saturday, March 25 and Royal Manor Theatre
Portland, Sunday, March 26 – all dates at 7.30pm.
