A 55 minute pluck-fest specifically designed to get an audience giddy with four-stringed delight. Sam and Donal will teach an audience how to play the ukulele, and maybe relieve their personal blues as well.

Each audience member will pick up their ukuleles (provided during the show) and learn four chords, a handful of songs (with the assistance of the Uke-Karauke machine), and how this little instrument is the new Prozac.

Along the way, they'll find out just how George Formby arrived on the scene to save Sam's life - and, although he's still a little fragile, Donal's too.

'Remarkable - well-observed, brilliantly executed and, most importantly very, very funny.' BBC Online

'A late night slot on Channel 4 can't be far off.'
