A humorous promotional poster for the Horrible Histories live stage show, featuring "Gorgeous Georgians" and "Vile Victorians" with cartoonish depictions of historical figures, including King George III and Queen Victoria.

We all want to meet people from history! The trouble is everyone is dead!

So it’s time to prepare for Horrible Histories live on stage with the acclaimed production of Gorgeous Georgians and Vile Victorians!

Are you ready to swing with a Georgian king? Does the Duke of Wellington get the boot? Would you stand and deliver to dastardly Dick Turpin? Can you help detectives find the headless man? Dare you dance the Tyburn jig? Will you be saved by Florence Nightingale? Find out what a baby farmer did and move to the groove with party Queen Victoria!

Don’t miss this horrible history of Britain with the nasty bits left in!

'Hilariously vulgar, brilliantly grisly – it has the young audience in stitches!'

Daily Express
