End of the Pier tickets

‘I used to dream of people remembering my jokes. Now I just wish they’d forget.’

Bobby was once a household name with 20 million TV viewers – but now the laughter has faded. Resigned to a life of solitude and second-rate panto performances, his glory days are behind him. When Michael, the nation’s favourite comedian, arrives at his door asking for help to save his career, Bobby is unwillingly thrown into the limelight once again.

Michael’s mask of smiles and gags is slipping, and there’s nowhere to hide. Bobby has been hiding from the world for years, and now is the time to make amends.

End of the Pier is a powerful new black comedy from acclaimed writer Danny Robins (Rudy’s Rare Records & Radio 4’s The Cold Swedish Winter). A dark question lurks behind the laughs: What if, inside, you’re not the person everyone thinks you are?

‘All comedy needs victims, Bobby. It was just your turn’
