House of Fun

House of Fun plays Hull Truck Theatre on Thursday 28 January 2027, with the show starting at 19:30. It's a music night rather than a play, and it's taking place in Stage 1.

They describe the show as a celebration of 2Tone and the Ska revival, and they're not shy about what they're after: non-stop dancing, hands-in-the-air choruses and serious feel-good vibes. If you're not familiar with the terms, 2Tone was the late-seventies movement that blended Jamaican ska and reggae with punk and new wave, and the Ska revival brought that sound back into the charts in the eighties. It's music built for a dancefloor, and that's exactly how they're pitching this.

It's a touring show, and the Hull date is one of eighteen venues on the run, so this is one of many stops on the road. The host is Hull Truck Theatre, a local company that supports theatrical work of all kinds and runs a community engagement programme aimed at growing the next generation of talent. They're based at 50 Ferensway, HU2 8LB, right in the city centre.

Tickets are £32, and the show starts at 19:30 on Thursday 28 January.
