Team Viking

A comic ode to death, friendship, and the absurdity of life. Ten years ago, my best friend Tom was diagnosed with heart cancer and given three months to live. His last wish was to have a full Viking burial. So I gave him one. Team Viking tells the remarkable, hilarious and heart-lifting story of how I actually managed to give my best mate the send-off he wanted. Blending storytelling, music, comedy and even a genuine Viking helmet, it?s a comic ode to death, friendship and the beautiful absurdity of life. The show premiered in a tiny meeting room at the 2016 Edinburgh Fringe and became a breakthrough hit: critically acclaimed, completely sold out, and the beginning of my career as a contemporary storyteller. Since then, it has toured hundreds of times across the UK and beyond. Now, ten years on, this modern classic returns for a special anniversary edition ? as funny, raw and joyous as ever.
