Show 397, Carry on Looting, 4th October 2012, Charing Cross Theatre, London

There’s trouble brewing in London – the Showstoppers tell a lost tale from the riots of Summer ’11. Posh girl Matilda Chormondley and her less socially privileged best friend Shelly Samson open a shop on Mere Street Hackney called ‘Fings and Bobs’ – much to the concern of local matriarch Mrs Rogers.

Mrs Roger’s daughter Shaniqua ( a former friend of Shelly’s), and her gang (featuring T-Bone, aka ‘Jim’) are also concerned. Matilda’ s dad bankrolled the shop, Matilda’s Uncle is David Cameron, Number 10 are concerned, and all Councillor Johnson wants to be is a traffic warden.

Fires are started, buildings fall and rise, and the question is asked – ‘Who’s going to buy a poof in Hackney?’. Features mild peril, satirical representation of the current Prime Minister, realistic urban patois by our all – caucasian cast, two separate rap-offs, and Oliver Senton as ‘the man in the hats’.
