The Beta Males GO WEST!

Event information

After a third critically acclaimed run on the Edinburgh Fringe, sketch storytellers, THE BETA MALES return for a new run of their Time Out Recommended residencies at THE WILMINGTON ARMS. Over the next few months The Betas will pilot evenings of NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN (and possibly unrepeatable) sketches, each set in a world of their own creation.

Four strangers blow in from out the dust. A harmonica hums. A lone coyote howls low over the wasteland. A tumbleweed...tumbles. BLAM! A shot rings out! Behold a pale horse! This month The Beta Males serve you up a SPAGHETTI WESTERN. Expect blood, gold, dynamite and an adventure with much gun. Lots of much gun.
