‘Ten years ago, my best friend Tom was diagnosed with heart cancer and given three months to live. His last wish was to have a full Viking burial. So I gave him one.’

Team Viking tells the remarkable, hilarious and heart-lifting story of how I actually managed to give my best mate the send-off he wanted. Blending storytelling, music, comedy and even a genuine Viking helmet, it’s a comic ode to death, friendship and the beautiful absurdity of life.

The show premiered in a tiny meeting room at the 2016 Edinburgh Fringe and became a breakthrough hit: critically acclaimed, completely sold out, and the beginning of James Rowland’s career as a contemporary storyteller. Since then it has toured hundreds of times across the UK and beyond.

Now, ten years on, this modern classic returns for a special anniversary edition – as funny, raw and joyous as ever.

Team Viking is brought to you by Salam & Holohan.
