What Badger and Boodle are all about...
Badger and Boodle are all about having fun!
Grounded in stand-up comedy, performance and writing, Badger and Boodle began promoting comedy when they established Northampton's most popular free comedy event, We are Most Amused, at The Victoria Inn.
They were then approached by other venues to organise acts for their comedy events.
Does your venue need acts? A comedy event? Badger and Boodle can help!
