Amid the multitude of zingers (which I won’t spoil) there are serious reflections on the darker aspects of a life in entertainment. The dinginess of Lee Newby’s dressing room set highlights the fact that much of their time has been spent in similar rooms; Cooper relays the experience of crying in distress and a crowd of people laughing regardless.
WHAT'S ON STAGE
★★★★
Lee Newby’s atmospheric set is a shabby, cramped room with damp walls and ancient posters boasting long-past Laurel and Hardy and Harry Secombe shows. A wall of framed photos features late, great comedy legends such as Tony Hancock and Sid James, many of whom are referred to in the show.
LONDON THEATRE
★★★★
In Lee Newby’s authentically drab dressing room set, is a photographic rogues gallery of comedy greats and music hall era comedians adorning the tatty back wall, which serves as a constant backdrop to proceedings.
