The Dead Ducks, finally having moved on from the blasted wasteland of comedy, are perturbed to be invited to the hilltop stately home of a former colleague. As punchlines and corpses begin to pile up, the choice is made clear: commit to the bit or risk being the next body found in the parlour. Will help arrive before daybreak? Will any of the Ducks escape their grisly fate? Can no one really tell that the Cardinal is a bear? The University of York’s premier sketch troupe are back! Supported by Stevie Martin’s student comedy fund.

About the show

No Ducks Left To Give is a sketch comedy show from York Comedy Society, the University of York's premier sketch troupe. The Dead Ducks have moved on from comedy — or so they thought — only to find themselves perturbed by an invitation to a former colleague's hilltop stately home. As punchlines and corpses pile up, the choice becomes clear: commit to the bit or risk becoming the next body in the parlour. A murder-mystery comedy romp performed at the Stephenson Theatre, running 50 minutes and suitable for ages 12 and over. Supported by Stevie Martin's student comedy fund.

Why see this show?

A sketch show with an irresistible comic premise — murder mystery meets backstage chaos, with a bear dressed as a Cardinal nobody seems to notice. Sharp student comedy from a troupe that knows how to build and sustain a ridiculous world with real confidence.
