If you’re searching for a night at the theatre that’s guaranteed to leave you smiling – and maybe even a little misty-eyed, look no further than The Last Laugh.
This superbly crafted show, created and directed by Paul Hendy is currently touring the UK and is an absolute delight from start to finish.
With spot-on performances and razor-sharp timing, it’s funny, heartwarming, and unafraid to show moments of genuine sadness too.
The actors bring the iconic British comedians Tommy Cooper, Eric Morecambe, and Bob Monkhouse to life with remarkable love and compassion.
Their portrayals capture not just the comedic genius of these legends, but also reveal the vulnerabilities and humanity behind their public personas.
The script is beautifully written, offering a rich blend of nostalgia, clever gags, and touching stories that pay heartfelt tribute to the golden age of British comedy.
Every moment feels genuine, from the playful banter and explosive jokes to the quieter, more poignant scenes that remind us of the fine line between comedy and tragedy.
Whether you’re a die-hard fan or meeting these legends for the first time, The Last Laugh is a show that will stay with you long after the curtain falls – a true celebration of laughter and love from a simpler place in time.
