Brick Up the Mersey Tunnels

Synopsis:
the story of the Kingsway Three. . .What happens when Liverpool falls out with the Wirral? Dick, Nick and Gerard "Gelegnite" Gardner are three men who've had enough. Looked down on and mocked by the self-proclaimed upper class from the Wirral peninsula, it is time to take the law into their own hands.

Council Depot Blues

Synopsis:
It's Stan's last day on the job and look what he's leaving behind. Clearing houses after the dearly departed have buggered off beyond the grave leaving nothing behind but busted sofas, faded photos and worthless heirlooms. It's enough to give anyone the blues. What he will miss are the lads who he works with in the Liverpool City Council excrement eradication Department. a bunch of social misfits without two airs and graces to rub together, they might wind each other up but they are a team. Stick together through thick and thin. they'd never desert each other or rip each other off. Not even if one of them found something really valuable. . .

Lost Soul

Synopsis:
In the 1970s Donna and Pat felt like the Pointer Sisters and they were looking for Hall and Oates. 30 years on and they feel like the ugly sisters and they found Laurel and Hardy. What happened to the fun times? Is the grass greener on the other side? Why has that daft get picked a fight with a bouncer? Lost Soul is a brutally funny comedy about getting older but not getting any wiser. Two Liverpool couples have grown up but have they also grown apart? Strong friendships and strong relationships are put to the test accompanied by a soundtrack of 70s soul music and audience belly laughs. You will be laughing all night long.
