Three Legendary Comedians… One very unusual dressing room DYING IS EASY, COMEDY IS HARD THE LAST LAUGH is a “brilliant” (The Telegraph) smash-hit, West End play which imagines three of Britain's all-time greatest comedy heroes – Tommy Cooper, Eric Morecambe and Bob Monkhouse – in a dressing room, discussing the secret of life, death, comedy and what it means to be funny… really funny! “Lovingly written and directed” (Sunday Times) by the award-winning Paul Hendy, The Last Laugh stars Damian Williams as Cooper, Simon Cartwright as Monkhouse and Britain’s Got Talent finalist, Steve Royle as Morecambe. Warm, funny, nostalgic and poignant, The Last Laugh is "pure gold" and "pitch-perfect" (Mail on Sunday) and will have you laughing and crying in equal measure. If you’re a fan of comedy, this “irresistible, blissful blast of nostalgia and belly laughs” (Sunday Express) is not to be missed. ★★★★★ ‘Genius!’ Metro ★★★★★ ‘Joyous!’ Broadway World ★★★★ ‘Comedy heaven! Immaculate…Gags galore!’ Daily Mail ★★★★ ‘Irresistible!’ Sunday Mirror
