"Eleanor wants a child. Richard would oblige if he could, but he's too busy running the Dead Funny Society.

When British comedy heroes Frankie Howerd and Benny Hill turn up their toes in the same week the society gather for a celebration of hilarity and laughter. But Eleanor's grin masks a grimace.

When your marriage is deader than either Morecambe or Wise it's hard to see the funny side of things."

The 2017 London run will feature Katherine Parkinson (The IT Crowd), Steve Pemberton (The League of Gentlemen), Ralf Little (The Royle Family), Emily Berrington (The Inbetweeners 2) and Rufus Jones (W1A).
