Up-and-coming comics Alex and Ben have been booked in the warm-up
spot for a beloved but fading double act's comeback tour. Neither
is delighted to be playing to a sparse crowd in a sleepy seaside
town - but when it's revealed that a Hollywood director is in the
audience, both acts glimpse a final chance for their big break. 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 Noises Off and Morecambe and Wise's old-school charm, The
Comeback is a heart-warming exploration of bittersweet nostalgia
and the enduring power of friendship. It is the joyful and
dazzlingly funny debut play by The Pin's award-winning Ben Ashenden
and Alex Owen - 'destined to become one of the great comedy duos'
(Radio Times). It opened at the West End's Noel Coward Theatre in
December 2020.
