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, Canada, China, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, Turkey, Belgium, Italy, Portugal & Germany 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; The Olivier Award winning production of Dinosaur World Live has wowed audiences across 4 continents since 2017 with its ferociously life-like dinosaur puppets, winning the Olivier Award for Best Family Show in 2024; it 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, USA, Europe and 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.
