About The Double Act at the Arcola Theatre in London

A crumbling coastal town, a fading comedian and a confrontation with an estranged ex-partner... years of comedy have finally unraveled around the once-famous funnyman, Billy Bash. 

Refusing to accept that his comedy career is over, Billy's humour remains frozen in the 1980s with his family-friendly double act comedian, Clifford Biddle. 

On the final night of his tour in the rundown seaside resort of Saltmouth, Billy must confront his former partner who has been stewing in resentful obscurity. 

In the storm-battered confines of Cliff's gloomy maisonette, the long-buried truths from their shared history surface, and the lines between guilty, madness and the supernatural begin to blur. 

Follow Billy into a darkly farcical nightmare, as playwright Mark Jagasia combines gothic madness with sharp, biting humour. 

“A headline-grabbing comedy that’s one of the funniest in years.” – Stage Review
