The Comeback

Making its own comeback after its original run was halted by the Christmas lockdown, rising star comedy duo The Pin present their first-ever play. Staged under the auspices of super-producer Sonia Friedman, ‘The Comeback’ follows a pair of up-and-coming comics booked to warm up on tour for a fading double-act’s comeback tour. But when they discover a superstar director is in the audience for a sparsely-attended gig in a sleepy seaside town, the two duos descend into out-and-out hostility as they vie for the director’s attention and their big break. The Pin – aka Ben Ashenden and Alex Owen – star, alongside a mystery celebrity guest every night of the socially distanced run. Emily Burns directs.
