The biggest laugh from last week was when Donna Gray (aka Sybil) smashed a serving plate over Basil’s head at Watford Colosseum. Basil learned his lesson!

Happy June Faulty fans!
Summer is just around the corner in the UK, so in theory we can put umbrellas away and enjoy beautiful sunsets, barbecues and visits to the seaside. In theory. At time of writing, summer in London is colder than winter in Melbourne – but you get the idea!
There’s just so much to do in June: music festivals start, summer solstice celebrations pop up, Wimbledon tennis to cheer… and coming to meet the Faultys, of course, at heaps of venues both Down Under and ‘Up Over’ (que?). We picked up Sybil’s calendar in the lost-and-found behind Manuel’s travel case, so you can see what she has to say about it all here…
What a busy weekend!
With shows at Fringe World, Adelaide Fringe and Amba Hotel Charing Cross in London, the Faulty Towers team was on fire! The first reviews for Adelaide Fringe came in and we also got some great feedback and reviews on our Facebook page and Tripadvisor! Valentine’s Day brought on a few surprises too!
At Adelaide Fringe:
Our intrepid heroes survived Friday 13th in the spectacular Fringe parade, and we opened our month at the Fringe on Saturday. Audiences took every opportunity to congratulate an adoring Basil and Sybil on a very Faulty Valentine’s Day.
Expect the unexpected at Adelaide Fringe at Ambassadors Hotel until 15 March.
– ‘An uproariously funny five-star comedic feast’ InDaily Read the full review here
– ‘If you walk away with one regret from Faulty Towers The Dining Experience, it will be that you didn’t experience it sooner.’ AdelaideGlam – Full Review
– ‘Faulty Towers the Dining Experience is a great tribute show with loads of belly laughs, and combined with the wonderful meal at the Ambassadors, it’s a must see at the Fringe this year’. The Clothesline – Full Review
At Fringe World Perth…While all this is happening down South, audiences in the West, at Fringe World Perth, are sharing their pictures while being served at the Faulty Towers restaurant in Rigby’s.
With many a full-house behind us, we close in Perth on 22 Feb, so get your tickets now!
In London’s West End…
In the meantime 14,470km away at Torquay Suite Theatre at Amba Hotel in London…
…Basil and Sybil celebrate Valentine’s Day in their own special way, while Manuel amuses himself in the kitchen. We continue to have five shows every week at this gorgeous venue throughout the year.

Excellent service with the napkins from Manuel @thefaultytowers may be needed if Basil is in the tomato soup… pic.twitter.com/nXvCFP9rNv

Technically not a tweet at all but we loved this photo on Instagram from Sybil on tour in Australia, Lara Dignam (@lardigs) of Andy Foreman choosing his moustache for the night. It makes a difference, don’t you know!
