Peepolykus (pronounced 'people-like-us') has toured its irreverent brand of comic theatre in more than 100 towns across four continents.

Might still become, if we don't keep our self-appointed leaders on a very short leash. Good old-fashioned don't-give-a-toss action. You don't like it, don't buy it. ...
