Lurking on our bookshelves, forgotten and dusty from lack of love, sit short sinister stories.
Hiding in plain sight.
Nursery Rhymes & Fairy Tales.
Some famous.
Some lost.
For good reason?
You’ll find out…

Come join Gav Cross for more deep dives into the words we seem to know so well but we never really listened to. More nonsense, nastiness and roaring chaos as we turn our childhood tales upside down to find out what lies beneath!
Stories that were all once published for children. How? Perhaps in a time where we didn’t seem to care so much?
And Gav will do his best to uphold that tradition!

Following on from “Twisted Tales for Terrible Children…”, join Gav for laughter and surprises, in a storytelling show designed to make you laugh, think carefully and approach that children’s library with caution!

Nominated for ‘Best Kids Show’ at the Leicester Comedy Festival 2023.
