The chaotic Willy's Chocolate Experience that led to a police intervention at a warehouse in Glasgow, Scotland, is set to make a comeback in Los Angeles.
The peculiar event caused quite a stir among parents, prompting memes and even a mention in the House of Commons. Now, the infamous incident will be recreated in California, with actor and yoga teacher Kirsty Paterson, 29, who gained fame as a sad Oompa Loompa, taking centre stage.
The Los Angeles event, dubbed "Willy's Chocolate Experience LA," promises a whimsical atmosphere, inviting attendees to immerse themselves in a world of chocolate memes. For the price of $44 per ticket, guests will receive two complimentary Jelly Beans upon entry to the nondescript warehouse on April 28.

'I'm the Oompa Loompa from the Willy Wonka event - it was the worst acting job'
"I've not been to America before. As a trained actor it's really exciting for me to go over there. I'm doing a lot of meetings and a lot of networking out there. As a trained actress it's not an impossibility that I'll be doing movies."
