The five-headed musical comedy band The Horne Section are heading to Northampton’s Royal & Derngate on Tuesday November 9 as part of their latest tour, entitled That’s How I Like My Tour.

Five outstanding musicians, one non-musical stand up. There will be comedy, songs, enthusiastic dancing, and a lot of mucking about in an unruly, ridiculous, and surprisingly satisfying show from the ingenious melody makers and Alex Horne, the creator and star of BAFTA-winning and International Emmy-nominated Taskmaster.
