About the show
Third Sister Entertainment, an amateur company, presents this 50-minute comedy-theatre piece at Playground 3. The premise: global apocalypse is at the door, and best friends Alice and Bee decide to put on one last improv show before the world ends. Armed with monologues, trashcan lids, homoeroticism, puppets and hope, they race against time to make you laugh. A zealous eulogy to live performance and a love letter to comedy itself. Suitable for ages 14 and over. Tickets £13 (£11 concession).
Why see this show?
Warm, inventive and genuinely peculiar — Last Laugh is an end-of-the-world improv show that finds real heart in its chaos. Alice and Bee's toolkit of puppets, trashcan lids and hope makes for a Playground 3 performance you won't see anywhere else.
