The Last Laugh – Tuesday 25th February 2025

One of the best things about London, in my humble opinion, is the abundance of world class theatre we have to choose from. There is so much talent concentrated in this city, it’s almost criminal not to enjoy it!

Another great thing about London is how pretty much every nation on Earth is represented here; the vast majority of people here are foreign born, and the theatre scene reflects those international, and touristic tastes.

Therefore, it was nice to see a show that spoke to a specifically British audience, or at least one that has an awareness of British comedy history.

The show is about three great British comedians from decades ago, who share a dressing room, and discuss their lives and the sacrifices they’ve made, all while poking fun at one another.
The actors were brilliant; absolutely recreating the comedians in voice and mannerisms, without it seeming like an impersonation.

The show itself was very funny and poignant, but it really helps to have some background knowledge about the comedians (such as the fact that one of the comedians actually died of a heart attack on stage, but the audience thought it was part of his act, and couldn’t stop laughing).

It was also the most amount of British people I’ve seen in an audience in a long time, and it was nice; reminded me of my youth, when London was full of British people! Haha.
