Sitting across from Karina, I am amazed to think that just the previous night I merely knew her as the sometimes annoying, but endearing, Sybil. There are only a few minutes before call time, but Karina is gracious enough to answer a few questions before she transforms into character. It turns out that Karina […]
Packing lightly will be tricky for Basil this Christmas! Just as he’s preparing to wrap up warm for winter, Sybil has booked a trip to Australia! Let’s hope he’s remembered his swimmers, but something tells us his suitcase will be full of tweed and teabags… Be quick to book Down Under for shows in November […]
With the help of our generous audiences, Faulty Towers The Dining Experience continues to raise money for BBC Children in Need. To date, we’ve raised over £40,000 – but we still have three weeks left until appeal night on Friday 13 November. Can we beat last year’s total of £11,263.17? We began fundraising for this […]
This October Faulty Towers The Dining Experience celebrates its fourth birthday in London’s West End!

Our Grade II listed venue has a few things of its […]
Three festivals, three months in three states -what an adventure the Faulty team had around Australia! Karen Hamilton (Sybil), Benedict Holme (Basil) and Anthony Sottile (Manuel) started the tour in sunny Perth for the Fringe World festival. They didn’t hang around too long as it was 32 degrees Celsius (a moderately warm day for Perth) […]
We recently welcomed Lara Dignam and Paul Geoghegan into the Aussie Faulty family. Having auditioned early in 2013, they rehearsed in March with our team at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Joined by long-standing company member Daley Donnelly (Manuel) and with artistic director Alison Pollard-Mansergh there too, they had their first performance in June at […]
Karen Hamilton has been a Sybil in Faulty Towers The Dining Experience almost as long as the show’s existed! Here are some of her best moments and touring stories. If you think this is bad, you should see the videos… Q1: What’s your favourite part of working with Faulty Towers The Dining Experience so far […]
Err Basil, I don’t think you should point at Sybil like that, you never know what might happen! This week’s tweet of the week from Sarah-Jane (@newbarley) who came to see the show at The Grand Theatre (@Grand_Theatre), Blackpool in the UK! Oh dear! @thefaultytowers @Grand_Theatre pic.twitter.com/GirVZnrGZs — SJ (@newbarley) July 10, 2013 […]
Q1: What’s your favourite part of working with Faulty Towers The Dining Experience so far or favourite Faulty moment? A: I just love playing Sybil. I was born in the ‘70s so was a young child when Fawlty Towers first aired. My primary school teacher, who encouraged me to be an actress, was a massive Fawlty Towers fan […]
Sybil Fawlty’s style stands out in the history of the British sit-com as unique and memorable. Combined with her barmy but beautifully arranged bouffant, and her distinctive diction, she instantly recognisable in the UK and world-wide, even over 30 years on. If you follow us on Pinterest you may have already noticed that we have a […]
