Paul Hendy's script is a wonderfully funny ode to comedians past. Bob Golding, Damian Williams and Simon Cartwright are absolutely uncanny as Eric Morecambe, Tommy Cooper and Bob Monkhouse. Crammed with jokes, The Last Laugh is a joyous celebration of comedy.
The Last Laugh sees three legendary comedians - Tommy Cooper, Eric Morecambe and Bob Monkhouse - sitting in a dressing room, discussing the secret of life, death, comedy and what it means to be funny. Written and directed by the award-winning Paul Hendy and starring Edinburgh Fringe-legend Bob Golding as Morecambe, Damian Williams as Cooper and Simon Cartwright as Monkhouse, The Last Laugh is warm, funny, nostalgic and poignant. Not to be missed.
