The Last Laugh is a brand-new, laugh-a-minute stage comedy that reimagines the lives of three of Britain’s all-time greatest comedy icons – Tommy Cooper, Eric Morecambe, and Bob Monkhouse.
Written and directed by award-winning Paul Hendy, this sharp, nostalgic, and poignant play blends classic gags with touching behind-the-scenes stories from the golden age of British comedy. It’s a celebration of the men behind the laughter – their brilliance, their demons, and their undeniable legacy.
The cast features a “trio of sublime performances” (WhatsOnStage):
Whether you grew up watching these legends or you’re discovering their genius for the first time, The Last Laugh promises to be the funniest and most heartfelt night out this autumn.
