| Laurence & Gus - Next In Line | |
|
Fri 27th April at 8:00pm |

A sketch show with a difference, taking the form of a single, continuous story told by a relay of characters. Each sketch features a character from the previous sketch and one that continues to the next, creating a mesh of ambitious, frustrated and fearful people trying to find their way out of the anterooms of life. Stars of Radio 4 comedy, and one of the most talked-about double-acts in recent years, Laurence and Gus sold out when they appeared at the Rondo in “Men in Love”. “Comedy for smart people” - The Sunday Times |
