What’s the show about?
Dangerous Dave, a gloriously ridiculous mini-stuntman with more enthusiasm than sense, is here to perform the most mind-bindingly silly stunts ever performed... ever! And he’s brought his equally absurd sidekick, Herbert Lemon, to make sure it all goes off with a bang (or at least, a mild thud).
Witness astonishing feats like:
Escaping from the Pickled Egg Jar of DOOM!
Surviving a plunge into a domestic food processor!
Climbing the Slippery Pole of Peril!
Being fired from the Cannon of Human Catastrophe!
It’s all wildly daft. Dangerously fun. And completely brilliant.
