Inhaltsangabe

<p>Up-and-coming comics Alex and Ben have been booked in the warm-up spot for a beloved but fading double act&#8217;s comeback tour. Neither is delighted to be playing to a sparse crowd in a sleepy seaside town &#8211; but when it&#8217;s revealed that a Hollywood director is in the audience, both acts glimpse a final chance for their big break.</p><p>Cue sabotage, mistaken identity and full-on farcical mayhem, as the performance descends into a desperate battle for the limelight. With the action alternating between offstage and on, and the tone between&#160;<em>Noises Off&#160;</em>and Morecambe and Wise&#8217;s old-school charm,&#160;<em>The Comeback</em> is a heart-warming exploration of bittersweet nostalgia and the enduring power of friendship.</p><p>It is the joyful and dazzlingly funny debut play by The Pin&#8217;s award-winning&#160;Ben Ashenden<strong>&#160;</strong>and&#160;Alex Owen<strong>&#160;</strong><em>&#8211; &#8216;</em>destined to become one of the great comedy duos<em>&#8217; </em>(<em>Radio Times</em>). It opened at the West End&#8217;s No&#235;l Coward Theatre in December 2020.</p>
