What would we do without comedy? At its best, comedy does more than merely provide an outlet for laughs. Trevor Griffiths’ taut play exploring the power of comedy is brought to life by John Pickard and standup Gary Colman. Set in a Manchester secondary school, the drama follows the progress of hopefuls as they face the scrutiny of a comedy agent. Who will prosper, who will fail and who will generate the largest laugh of the night? Latecomers may not be admitted.
