Billy's back again ... and what a show it was at the Alhambra!

A cracking re-telling of what has evolved into a modern-day fairy tale gave the opportunity to take in a seasonal show with more than a sprinkling of Yorkshire magic.

Packed full of innuendo that can easily go over the younger end of the audience`s head, Ed Curtis took an alternative angle with regard to some set pieces, keeping the show fresh and exciting while its roots remain firmly in vaudevillesque slapstick driven acts.

My particular highlight was the aping of modern day songs by Billy during a hilarious exchange with Buttons, the thread that holds the show's flow and direction together.
