Artsreach & The Exchange presents

Team Viking

By James Rowland

Fifteen years ago, James’s best friend Tom was diagnosed with heart cancer and given three months

to live. His last wish was to be given a full Viking burial.

Team Viking is the remarkable, hilarious and heart-lifting story of how James actually gave his best

mate the send-off he wanted.

Originally premiering at the 2016 Edinburgh Fringe, Team Viking became a critically acclaimed

breakthrough hit and marked the beginning of James’s career as one of the UK’s leading

contemporary storytellers.

Blending storytelling, music, comedy and even an actual Viking helmet, Team Viking is a comic ode

to death, friendship and the absurdity of life. Now this modern classic returns for its 10th

anniversary tour, as funny, raw and joyous as ever.

★★★★★ “As accomplished storytelling as you could hope to see… joyous – heart lifting and

incredibly moving.” The Stage

★★★★★ “Real grief, still raw; real heart, still healing… A reminder that life really is for the

living.” Fest Magazine

★★★★ “Brilliant storytelling… beautifully written and superbly performed.” Ed Fest Mag

★★★★ “Equal parts sad, funny and ridiculous… a show of real courage.” ThreeWeeks

Running time 70mins no interval

SUPERSONIC QUEEN – the UK’s most dynamic tribute

Supersonic Queen are rapidly establishing themselves as the UK’s leading Queen tribute – and one of the most electrifying anywhere in the world.

Celebrated for their breathtaking musicianship, commanding stage presence and meticulous attention to detail, they recreate the magic of Queen’s legendary live performances with stunning authenticity and explosive energy. This totally live 5-piece band delivers far more than a tribute show – they deliver an experience.

From the soaring anthems and theatrical epics to the stadium-shaking rock classics, Supersonic Queen capture the spirit, scale and majesty that made Queen one of the greatest bands of all time.  

Touring extensively across the UK’s top theatres, music venues and festivals, the band continue to win over audiences of all ages, earning critical acclaim and a fiercely loyal fanbase. Every show is packed with hit after hit, performed with passion, precision and the kind of on-stage chemistry that truly sets them apart.  

Step back in time and relive the excitement of a live Queen concert. Bring your friends, bring your family, and prepare for an unforgettable night of music, memories and pure rock ‘n’ roll spectacle.
