'The best theatre I saw was Team Viking by James Rowland' Stewart Lee
Ten years ago, James’ best friend Tom was diagnosed with heart cancer and given three months to live. His last wish was to have a full Viking funeral. So James gave him one.
A sold-out hit at its 2016 Fringe premiere, Team Viking has gone on to be performed hundreds of times across the UK and internationally. One of contemporary comedy's genuine word-of-mouth successes, and the show that established James Rowland as one of the UK's foremost contemporary storytellers. Now, ten years on, this modern classic returns for a special anniversary edition, as funny, raw and joyous as ever.
'Equal parts sad, funny and ridiculous… a show of real courage' ★★★★ ThreeWeeks
Winner: Adelaide Fringe Weekly Award 2026 (Best of Theatre & Physical Theatre, supported by TAFE SA)
