February Double Bill!
2 Complicated
“A long-distance relationship! Maybe that’s what I need! I knew I was a romantic…”
By enormous popular demand, the multi award-nominated romantic comedy 2 Complicated returnsthis February for Valentine’s week! Social networking might have brought the world closer together, but now perhaps it's too close for comfort, and it's still so very... complicated.
Fast-paced, hilarious, and with a lot of heart, this is a rom-com for the social media generation: the perfect night out with "one of the most exciting and creative emerging companies in recent years” (The Theatre Blog).

Jack & I: The Jack the Ripper Musical
The hunt for Jack the Ripper is on! The Edinburgh Fringe 2014 smash-hit transfers to the Barons Court Theatre for its London première!
1888, and Detective Inspector Abberline is faced with the seemingly impossible task of satisfying his boss, the media, the public, his wife, and his own peace of mind. Oh, and there’s an equally impossible killer on the loose. In the depravity of Victorian London, where nothing is what it seems, how do you find a needle in a haystack?
Another fantastic comedy musical from Punchline Theatre, the “masters of what they do” (EdCringe.com)

“Near-faultless […] a thoroughly enjoyable performance which should be commended for its comedic and historical value” - Ed Fringe Review (Guido!)
