Information About

Comedy Theatre




The theatre's reputation grew through the World War I when C.B. Cochran and André Charlot presented their famous review shows. It is also noted for its part played in the late 1950s when it overturned stage Censorship by forming the 'New Watergate Club' at the theatre. Plays that had been banned due to language or subject matter could now be performed under 'club' conditions.

Recent productions have included Journey's End, The Old Masters, Whose Life is it Anyway?, The Home Place, Epitaph for George Dillon, The Caesar Twins, Steptoe and Son and currently Donkey's Years.
