The Pheasantry (Chelsea)

Instant Sunshine returns to the Pheasantry with more music and songs to brighten a summer evening with laughter -  the perfect therapy to make you feel good. Instant Sunshine is a unique musical comedy team that has been entertaining audiences for years with their particular blend of humorous, witty songs and hilarious routines. They take a sideways look at every day life in a beguiling and very funny style all their own. They have played at festivals, and theatres throughout the UK and also delighted audiences on their travels around the world to New Zealand, Bermuda and Hong Kong. In New York they have played in Greenwich Village and even impressed the New York Times reviewer  - “Expert comic timing, genuinely literate cabaret”.  

“Their every second on stage is honed for comedy”
