Spend an evening with two of the titans of cricket with a side-splitting show full of memories from test matches past.

Henry "Mr Dear Old Thing" Blofeld and Peter Baxter will be bringing their double-act to the Harlequin Theatre, with plenty of tales from within the Test Match Special commentary boxes.

Anecdotes of the most legendary players of the last 40 years will finally be aired in a hilarious show.

A sporting institution, Baxter was the organising brain behind BBC Radio’s Test Match Special for 34 years and was frequently part of the commentary team while enjoying many amusing moments.

Blofeld is one of Britain’s best loved broadcasters, who has commentated on the show since 1972. His distinctive voices and talent for painting pictures with words has been in demand all over the world.
