Julian Clary’s adaptation of his best-selling book The Bolds returns this Christmas following huge critical success when it was first presented in 2021.

The Bolds are just like you and me. They live in an ordinary house on an ordinary street, and they love to laugh. But there’s one slight difference… they are hyenas!

How long can they keep their beastly secret under their hats? Join Mr and Mrs Bold and their twins Betty and Bobby as they navigate work, school and friends whilst trying to keep up their disguise.

Combining live music and songs by Julian Clary and Simon Wallace, The Bolds will have you laughing like a bunch of, well, hyenas, in a show which revels in the joy of being anything but ordinary.

Julian Clary’s series of children’s books is a Sunday Times best-seller having sold over half a million copies worldwide.
