"Button Undone" is a big bawdy barrel of laughs and although aimed at Over 18's, it doesn't contain any crude four-letter words, as the humour is unshamely in the Great Britain "Carry On" tradition of rib-tickling double entendres and innuendo. So if you're broad-minded and fancy a fun night out that turns traditional pantomine upside down to reveal its frilly bloomers hiding underneath, this is definately a show you won't want to miss.
And you know you're in a safe pair of hands when the frantic frolics and saucy shenanigans happening on stage are held together by Wales undisputed King of Comedy Owen Money as Buttons.
Doors open from 7.00pm and The Met Bar from 6.30pm.
