The Aba Daba Theatre Company stayed at the Water Rats until 1988. They started a new project at Underneath The Arches in Southwark in 1991, and carried on there until 1996.

Hollywood Arms, Chelsea and the Star and Garter, Putney, in addition to many West End

and regional theatres. They have toured extensively in Scandinavia and other parts of Europe, Canada, and the United States.

. Together with musical director, David Wykes, they wrote The Illustrated Victorian Songbook, published by Michael Joseph in 1985.
