The Complete World of Sports (Abridged)

The Complete World of Sports (Abridged) Theatre breaks

About the show

The "bad boys of abridgement" are back in the UK following a highly successful run in New York and a sell-out US tour of The Complete World of Sports (Abridged). In this West End premiere, the entire history of athletic competition is revisited in a marathon of madness and mayhem that sees the world's great sporting events shrunk down to theatrical size. Among the many questions answered: Is darts really a sport? What does NASCAR stand for? Why do Americans insist on calling a contest in which only they compete the "World Series"? What about wife carrying, extreme ironing and bog snorkelling? Which is more boring - baseball or cricket? Who invented curling and synchronised swimming - and why are they in the Olympics?
