Pete and Dud Come Again

The play, `Pete and Dud Come Again,’ which sold-out in Edinburgh and enjoyed excellent reviews across the board, will open a 12-week run in London’s West End at The Venue, off Leicester Square (5 Leicester Place, London, WC2H 7BP).

Britain's greatest comedy partnership is revisited from Dudley's point of view, revealing why their humour endured when their relationship could not, and how Moore leapt from underrated second fiddle to Hollywood superstar overnight.

Featuring favourite characters from their brilliant early work with ‘Beyond the Fringe’ partners Alan Bennett and Jonathan Miller, through to the hilarious pint-drinking pundits Pete and Dud, to the outrageously funny Derek and Clive. This new play celebrates a unique partnership that changed the face of British comedy forever.

The show has been extended for London as a two-act version. Previews start this Thursday, March 2 & 6 (at 7:30 p.m. no show on Sunday, March 5), and press night is Tuesday, March 7. Performance times: Mondays and Saturdays at 7.30 p.m., Wednesdays and Saturdays at 2.30 p.m. Running time is approximately two hours including one interval.
