Tooting: Performance on common today needs YOU to pedal to power the show

There's are some performances happening today on Tooting Common - and you are needed to help the show go on.

Bicycle Boy is performing his bicycle-powered musical three times today (July 28), at 11am, 2pm and 4.30pm on the common.

This exciting performance is aimed at children between the ages of 5-11 and not only gets the kids off their feet but gets them involved as well, as Bicycle Boy needs power generated to unlock important messages.

The event will be happening at the Woodfield Pavillion on Tooting Common, off Abbotswood Road (SW16 1AP).

You can reserve your ticket online by following this link.

The show is about an hour long and has a 'pay what you can' policy for price.

What is the show?

Packed with songs and humour, Bicycle Boy explores themes of sustainability in an engaging, pedal-powered performance.

Our hero, Sam has 24 hours to clear out his grandad's old bike workshop; it has been a difficult time and the business has to close. He remembers grandad teaching him to ride – and playing with him, pretending to be superhero Bicycle Boy.

It seems grandad may have left Sam a present somewhere in the workshop, and some clues to find it. But there's no power and Sam needs electricity to unlock the messages. He needs our help. If we can connect up enough bikes and pedal like mad, we can make generate enough power for Sam's journey (and the show).

The show has also been adapted to make sure that it is Covid-safe.
