This show, and its successor, At the Drop of Another Hat, ran with occasional short breaks from 1956 to 1967 and played in theatres throughout the British Isles, the US, Australia and elsewhere. During and after the stage partnership with Swann, Flanders pursued a many-faceted career, performing on stage, screen, radio, concert platforms and recordings.

Da giovane sembrava avviarsi verso una carriera di attore di successo.

Nel 1956 loro stessi eseguirono alcune di queste canzoni, insieme ad altre nuove, in una rivista per due uomini, At the Drop of a Hat. Questo spettacolo, e il suo successore, At the Drop of Another Hat, andò in scena, con brevi pause occasionali, dal 1956 al 1967 e venne portato nei teatri delle isole britanniche, degli Stati Uniti d'America, dell'Australia e altrove. Durante e dopo la collaborazione teatrale con Swann, Flanders intraprese una carriera multiforme, esibendosi sul palco, sullo schermo, alla radio, su piattaforme per concerti e registrazioni.
