Hi neighbours, have you heard of our award-winning show, Krishnan’s Dairy? Excited to know what they’re up to 20 years later? Be the first to experience our brand new show, Mrs Krishnan’s Party, with your friends: 6th to 14th December.

Mrs Krishnan has invited a few friends into the back room of her dairy (yes – Krishnan’s Dairy) to celebrate Onam and the return home of her son. But when James, her overzealous boarder and wannabe DJ gets wind of it, 100 strangers turn up and Mrs K has no choice but to throw the party of her life.

Book tickets and then join the Mrs Krishnan's Party Facebook event page to keep up to date with all the party preparations!
