Production images have been released for The Pin’s debut play, The Comeback, running at the Noel Coward Theatre until 3 January 2021.

The brilliantly original and hilarious new comedy is set to delight all generations, telling the story of two double acts fighting to wrest control of the most chaotic, farcical and high-stakes gig of their respective careers.

Ben Ashenden and Alex Owen, who make up The Pin, will have audiences doubled over laughing and wiping a tear away at the end with its heart-warming exploration of bittersweet nostalgia and the enduring power of friendship. This show is a much needed dose of feel-good, dizzying escapism with real emotional heart, and a celebrity guest each night to boot.

Directed by Emily Burns, 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 duo are 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, this is a warm-hearted, joyful, and dazzlingly funny new comedy.
