Autumn is Leonard's favourite time of year, because it heralds the start of
conker season. And he absolutely bloody loves a game of conkers. However,
when a new boy arrives and begins to cheat his way to the top of the
conkers leaderboard at his school, somebody has to take a stand. And
despite a long, distinguished history of cowardice, Leonard suddenly
believes that somebody, is him. As he embarks on a plan to beat the bully
at his own game, will Leonard manage to overcome the odds, preserve the
integrity of the annual tournament and win the conkers crown? Or will he
end up losing, before being paraded around the playground in a headlock,
like all the others? Written and performed by award-winning comedian Mark
Allen, this charming story crackles with wit, and will have audiences
engrossed from the first fall of a conker, all the way through to the epic
final showdown.
