Fifteen years ago, Jamess 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 Jamess career as one of the UKs 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.
