Mr Sleepybum
11:30am - 3:00pm
Price: £9 + 10% booking fee
Do you have stupid and silly dreams at night? Well, Mr. Sleepybum does, and he’s going to reenact them all for you in this high-energy, silly comedy show for the whole family.
Mr Sleepybum awakes in his bed to find a room full of parents and children. A circus of silly sketches and dream scenes ensues. From swimming with Sharks to solving the mystery of a stolen chocolate cake to being chased by a frog dressed as a snail, Mr Sleepybum’s imagination is limitless.
Mr Sleepybum premiered at the Leicester Comedy Festival in 2023 and was nominated for Best Kids Show. The show embarked on a run at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2023 and sold out the whole run. The show received rave reviews from the press and audiences.

Kids are left screeching with glee while their parents are grinning at this circus of sheer silliness.
Kids erupted in bouts of laughter at the side-splitting dream scenes
Just the sort of silly, puerile, crackers show that the Fringe needs for kids!

The Hat Factory
The Hat Factory is Luton's leading arts and entertainment venue featuring live music, club nights, theatre, dance, films, children's activities, workshops, classes and gallery exhibitions.
It's a centre of artistic excellence set within a vibrant urban environment. It offers the young and the young at heart the chance to engage with the arts, to be inspired by the UK’s leading arts practitioners, and to develop artistic skills and confidence.
The Hat Factory is a combined arts venue in the centre of Luton. It opened in 2003 and since then has been the area’s main provider of contemporary theatre, dance and music. We work with both emerging and proven producers and artists, through programming, engagement programmes and our Associate Artist scheme. Their music programming is vibrant, offering an eclectic portfolio of high quality artists from the worlds of jazz, blues, folk, world music, indie and hip hop. Complementing their own programming, they welcome local/regional promoters to the venue, broadening their music offer and at the same time supporting young promoters and their businesses. They programme contemporary theatre and dance with a focus on fresh, new and relevant stories from both established and emerging touring companies who are making high quality work in the UK. They’ve programmed companies like Earthfall, Chickenshed, New International Encounter (NIE), Trestle, Menagerie, Eastern Angles, Atma, State of Emergency, 30 Bird, Tavaziva, Analogue and Jean Abreu Dance to name but a few.
