Arendal review
“After roars of laughter that came non-stop for over two hours it’s clear that the people of Arendal like the concept and are ready for more.”
A feast of Faultys in Sri Lanka
Another sold-out run for Basil, Sybil and Manuel, this time at the luscious Mount Lavinia Hotel (Paul O’Neill, Geoffrey Reczek and Karen Hamilton with a charming porter).

A week at The Sydney Opera House
Our debut week at Sydney Opera House was a sell-out and many of our guests wrote great reviews on twitter and facebook. Australian Traveller magazine has published a great review too, calling the show ‘a hilarious battle of wits, patience, fire extinguishers and fine food.. distinctly hilarious’. Click here for the full review.
We’re already planning our return so sign up for the newsletter and hear about it the minute we have the dates.

Paul O’Neill (Basil), Peter Mansergh (Company & Financial Director), Claire Housden (Global Operations Manager), Andy Foreman (Manuel) and Karen Hamilton (Sybil).
Sybil, Basil and Manuel prepare to treat the Aussies to some fine dining.
Our performance space: The Utzon Room, with its thousand-dollar chairs, three-million dollar mural… and a Faulty fish.

Err Basil, I don’t think you should point at Sybil like that, you never know what might happen!

Beautiful Belper: June tours photos
Last Friday (14th June), one of our UK touring teams visited The Lion Pub With Rooms in Belper and enjoyed a fantastic performance with Donna Gray performing as Sybil, Jack Baldwin as Basil and Ed Howells as Manuel. The cast also got to explore the town and took some lovely snaps in the sun for us!
Welcome to Belper, Faultys!

Stunning countryside

Brighton Fringe Round Up
Brighton Fringe Festival and our extra run of shows at the Thistle Hotel went down a storm, with our final performance on Sunday 9 Jun. Here are our favourite photos of Ed Howells, Rob Langston and Donna Gray (and some giggling guests):
We also received some brilliant reviews from The Argus, Broadway Baby and The Latest.
And if for some bizarre reason you missed us this May and June then don’t fear… we will be back due to popular demand in July, September and December. Check out the Thistle website for more information.
Norway Debut, Part 3: Stavanger
Our Norway tour concluded with three nights at Gaffel Og Karaffel in the coastal town of Stavanger. Here are some of our favourite shots from Wednesday evening (15th) of the beautiful venue and fabulously enthusiastic audience.
The town itself has beautiful winding streets filled with small shops and cafes:

Overall, Norway has been an unforgettable experience and incredibly successful break in tour. We’ve had a great time working with all the venues and entertaining the friendly and fun loving Norwegian audiences and look forward to returning for more Faulty Fun at the end of the year!
Norway is just one of the 20 countries we are performing in this year, to keep up to date with tours and ticket releases follow us on Twitter and Facebook, or sign up to our monthly Newsletter.
