Secret Planet present A Joke
An Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman go to... Leicester! It sounds like the start of a joke. It is! A Joke is a hilarious and thoughtful hit play from multi-award-winning writer Dan Freeman (Dr Who: Death Comes to Time; The Minister of Chance).
A Joke broke records in its first outing at the Edinburgh Fringe where it was an instant hit. It tells the story of three strangers who appear in the middle of nowhere with no memory of who they are. However, they soon discover that one is an Englishman, one is an Irishman, and the third is... well, Scottish-ish. As they try to work out the mystery of their existence, the suspicion begins to dawn that they may be characters in a joke. A guaranteed night of entertainment and a warm tribute to comedy in all its forms.
★★★★★ “… a comic masterclass … laugh out loud funny … A Joke will keep you laughing and set you thinking.” Edinburgh Evening News
★★★★★ “Razor-sharp, rapid-fire one-liners, exquisite wordplay … a delight.” Edinburgh Reporter
★★★★★ “… a privilege to witness … masterful … a truly astounding show …” Fringe Review
