Comedy duo The Pin’s debut play, The Comeback, is set to return to the West End for a limited 3-week run at the Noel Coward Theatre from 7-25 July 2021, it has been announced today.

Ben Ashenden and Alex Owen’s production offers the perfect escapism for audiences of all ages and initially opened to rave reviews in December 2020, before being shut down due to the national lockdown.

Directed by Emily Burns, The Comeback tells the story of two double acts fighting to wrest control of the most chaotic, farcical and high-stakes gig of their respective careers.

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 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, this is a warm-hearted, joyful, and dazzlingly funny new comedy.

Each night Ashenden and Owen will be joined on stage by a surprise celebrity guest star playing a cameo role in the production.

Tickets will be available to book from 30 April here.
