Luke Poulton - Hamster Butlers

A stand-up comedy show by Luke Poulton, built around Gilbert and Sullivan, the two hamster butlers cut from the film Flushed Away. It is staged at The Bill Murray in London.

This stand-up comedy show by Luke Poulton is built around Gilbert and Sullivan, the two hamster butlers cut from the film Flushed Away. Luke has spent three years making a video series about the pair, and the live show extends that work by tracing the history of the characters.

The second part of the performance is a reading of an original script featuring the hamster butlers, which Luke has now obtained. Luke goes through that script live on stage, so the evening combines background on the characters with the script itself.

The Bill Murray is a London venue that mainly hosts live comedy, with a programme centred on stand-up shows and comedy performances. This production sits within that programme, and suits anyone interested in the video series or in the story of the two butlers.
