November 11th 1983: the closest the world has ever come to nuclear war. Comedian Joe “Pops” Pooley is headlining his local comedy club. As if his job wasn’t hard enough this evening, the venue has found itself trapped inside a five-minute time-loop.

Comedian Dies In The Middle Of Joke is an interactive play devised by award-winning writer Ross Sutherland (The Times  ‘Top Ten Literary Star’). Each time the stage resets, you get to play a different person in the room: a heckler, the barman, even the comedian himself. All you have to do is read the autocue and follow the prompts. The comedian is doomed to fail every time… the question is: can you die with some dignity?

****  The Independent


“A moving and compelling show which might have you swiftly returning for seconds." ****  The List
