SYNOPSIS
"Always Remember", "Back A’Cha", "Talk To The Hand" and "It Ain't You It's Me Babe"
...are songs that shaped a generation in the 90’s. But it is 24 years since MyBad! broke a million teenage hearts when they split up and the intervening years have not been good to Gaz, Davey Dave, Tasty Flava and Stewie.
After their previous manager squandered all their money on failed film tax schemes they are now all officially S to the K to the I to the N to the T - well maybe not all of them! Much to their chagrin fifth band member, Wayne Young, has actually done very well thank you very much and is now a Hollywood superstar!
So when Marie, pub cleaner and former party planner for adult toy company Marie Winters, persuades the Fab Four to reform with her as their manager they have to try and put all their old grudges and years of festering resentment behind them to make it work.
MyBad! is a character driven story about 4 middle-aged men who discover lost friendship, that rivalries still run deep and that leather no longer suits a 20 stone man with a comb-over. They also discover that behind every resurgent pop star combo is a powerful woman who is capable of anything.

SYNOPSIS
Wandering through the streets of Northern England dressed in a blue velvet suit, Frank is not your traditional angel. Overworked and underpaid he has one final mission to complete his "tour of duty" and one last soul to save.
With his 8G celestially powered smartphone failing to pick up a network connection to access his mission details he decides to kill some time and go to the theatre to see "Talking with Angels - A Psychic Evening with Bernard De La Reine."
But all is not what it seems with Bernard, his spirit guide has long since departed him and now he has enlisted his disillusioned wife Cheryl to scam the audience. As the show starts to fall apart Frank steps in to help and has soon set Bernard up for his own TV show that will change his life forever.
But was it chance that threw them together or was it destiny?
