The "bad boys of abridgement" are back in the UK following a sell‐out US tour of The Complete World of Sports (abridged). Ahead of the show’s 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? Why do Americans insist on calling a contest in which only they compete the "World Series"? Which is more boring – baseball or cricket? Who invented curling and synchronised swimming – and why are they in the Olympics?
Every sport ever played on every continent in the entire history of the world in under two hours! Let the games begin!
…this frenetic show leaves you with a new appreciation for just how dull life would be had the idea of athletic competition never been invented."
