Total Hero Team

This year's Buxton Fringe has special security guards: a team of super-powered protectors known as Total Hero Team.

Total Hero Team is a new two-man rock opera about superheroes starring M J Hibbett and Steve, the people responsible for the dinosaur destruction of Peterborough in 2010's Dinosaur Planet and the truth behind the moon landings in 2011's Moon Horse vs The Mars Men Of Jupiter.

They didn't do a show last year because Steve was in the Olympic Games opening ceremony. “It was much the same as one of our shows,” he says, “except with more people and slightly less ukulele.”

Total Hero Team features 12 new songs by M J Hibbett who, along with his band The Validators, has performed live on Radio One, had a record of the year in Rolling Stone and toured all around the world.

It takes to the stage at Underground Venues, The Square, Buxton on Saturday (13 July) at 8:30PM and Sunday (14 July) at 3:30PM.
