Everest Mallory 24 (with Stanley) is a comic storytelling show based on the events of the 1924 British Mount Everest expedition. It follows Mallory on the SS California to India, upon a train across to Darjeeling, and on ponies across Tibet. In tow is Stanley from the mad hatter's town of Stockport, Manchester. All of this is new to Stanley, who has barely been up Kinder in the Peak District! Once reaching Everest, they must, of course, tackle it with feet, ropes, and possibly some oxygen. Knowing his own limitations, Stanley absolutely does not make a summit attempt, with Mallory and Irvine.
