‘Pool Noodles’ is a narrative sketch show, which presents a series of fast-paced original sketches all packed into the same universe and threaded together by the story of Kenny Shallows. 

Kenny Shallows has always dreamt of being a poolside lifeguard, but when he gets a place at the lifeguarding school of his dreams, he finds he is a small fish in a big pond - that is, until he hears about the lifeguarding elixir!

In this hour of manic narrative sketch comedy, Kenny must battle breast-stroking bullies, ghost-filled golf courses, and a whole lot of water in order to become the greatest lifeguard the world has ever seen!

It’s crunch time for Kenny Shallows. Sink or swim; dunk or get dunked; splish in or splash out.

Reviews

“Pool Noodles is the sort of show that lives or dies on the charm and energy of its performers, and there’s no need for CPR here.”

Chortle

“…a great fun and well-executed show”

One4Review

“…endless jokes, visual gags & choose-your-own puns in an interactive, frenetic, blink-and-you'll-miss-it farce.”
