About us 

 

Nicoll Entertainment is the brainchild of Oliver Royds & Nick Brooke, creating some of the most innovative family friendly theatre productions of the past decade. The company has toured shows extensively across the UK & Ireland, as well as multiple West End seasons, and international tours across USA, China, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, UAE, Kuwait and Bahrain to name a few.

 

Their Olivier Award nominated production of The Tiger Who Came to Tea has been a huge success since its debut in 2008, playing to packed houses regularly across the UK and internationally; Dinosaur World Live has wowed audiences across 3 continents since 2017 with its ferociously life-like dinosaur puppets, and is unique in bringing puppets of this scale to an interactive setting where the audience can get so close to them; and most recently the Olivier Award nominated production of Dragons & Mythical Beasts has brought amazement and wonder to audiences across the UK and USA, and in Autumn 2023 will embark on its debut tour of mainland China.

 

Along with producing their own sell-out shows, Nicoll Entertainment also offer a range of General Management services including tour booking, production management, payroll, merchandising and transport.
