The Last Laugh, a play which reimagines the lives of three of Britain’s greatest comedy heroes—Tommy Cooper, Eric Morecambe, and Bob Monkhouse—will begin performances in Brighton this week. Meet the stars of the show in new photos.

The new play from award-winning writer and director Paul Hendy runs at Theatre Royal Brighton until Saturday 15 February before moving to the Noël Coward Theatre for a West End run and subsequent New York season and UK tour. 

The comedic trio, brought to life by actors Bob Golding (Eric Morecambe), Damian Williams (Tommy Cooper), and Simon Cartwright (Bob Monkhouse), were photographed outside Theatre Royal Brighton’s iconic and historic Stage Door ahead of opening night on Tuesday 11 February.
