Be it a corporate event or a private party, these entertainers will leave the audience in splits.
Since 2011 they have performed, hosted, produced and written their unique style of character comedy at many events, festivals, club nights and spectacles both here in the UK and internationally.
Akimbo produce interactive theatrical experiences that engage with their audiences at every opportunity. From fun in festival fields to colourful characters for corporate events- they’re your one stop shop for theatrical shenanigans.
Fancy watching your managing director win a dance off wearing tights and a tutu? Or how about cheering for Dave from accounts as he champions a limbo contest? Ever fancied taking on the marketing team in a highly competitive interactive pub quiz?
Akimbo can make all this and more happen! Whether you need some fun at an away day, some non- conventional team building exercises for your team building event or even some engaging stage hosts for your staff party, they can help you to bring a little silliness into your workplace.
Past projects have included producing and hosting three in flight party planes to Puerto Rico (London, LA and New York) for Bacardi, hosting an interactive Nativity quiz for Sony and providing an immersive comedic gypsy experience for GYMBOX.
