 DUFFY THEATRE

"Read,Read,Read your heart out" Yesterday we went to Duffy theatre. It was the coolest one yet .It was so funny.They made up a rap instead of "Teach me how duggy".It was "teach me how to Duffy". And instead of"Every day i'm shufferling"it was "every day i'm duffying".After a little bit later Duffy cracked a Nek minute joke"I was hiding under a book nek minute rippppppp".It was so cool!
