Big Boys Don't Dance
Big Boys Don't Dance is a two-hander comedy and dance show by Ash Searle and Bradley Searle.
Original text
"The show opens at Ash’ bachelor party where the brothers are plunged into one disaster after another. The focus of the story is the hilarious journey they travel as they try to redeem themselves. Under this kind of pressure, will they succeed in their endeavours or will life dance circles around them?"
The pair subsequently produced a sequel, Big Boys II.
