So .... armed with his collection of suitcases, various odds and sods, a head full of ideas and some help from the audience, Mike is off to discover what makes a good story.
He has some puppets. That makes for a good start and soon all manner of objects are joining in the story.
Clowning? Mike is good at that, particularly when it's combined with just the right sized, delicious dollop of silliness.
...... and just like that Mike's adventures begin.
I Have a Story To Tell is a wonderfully imaginative performance that explores relevent themes and is full of positive messages all bundled into a laugh out loud story aimed perfectly at its young audience.
