Funbox arrives in town

Children’s favourites Funbox bring their new show to Livingston next month. ‘Once Upon a Time’will see Anya, Kevin, Gary and Bonzo the Dog (formerly of The Singing Kettle) for a real page turner as they start on the next chapter of their adventures‘Once Upon a Time’. Fe-fi-fo-fum, our keys are gone and there’s worse to come. All your favourite fairytales are going wrong and it’s up to the Funbox gang to make sure everyone lives happily. Packed with singalong favourites like ‘Old King Cole’,‘Ye Canny Shove Yer Granny’ and brand new songs,‘Once Upon a Time’is the perfect story for all the family.

You might even get to help on stage, but only if you’re in the good books.

Come dressed as your favourite storybook character.
