Description
Disaster strikes aboard the S.S. Space Cruise upon the murder of intergalactic mobster Dead Pan! Thrust on a madcap adventure of illegal crime, amorous romance and deadly death, walking cliché DCI John Wood and over-eager Officer Love Interest must interrogate a motley ensemble to crack the case: mob boss Mr Fax, his femme fatale daughter Jessica, wizened war criminal Brookes, no-nonsense Captain and two escaped bandits who may have wandered into the wrong script. But which of them is a cold-blooded killer? A straight-talking farce from Cambridge comedians, it's a mystery... in space!Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

Gloriously witty and funny. An ode to all those old Leslie Neilsen comedies, the jokes and puns come quick and ruthlessly.

The launch of a new rising star. The ghost in this show brings the house down. No matter how hard the ensemble try to crack you up, the effortless timing of the ghost is consistently priceless. The ghost should definitely start a solo show.

Brilliant and blatantly funny. Surely think Airplane and don’t call me Shirley. Roger roger over over. You will enjoy the show , especially if the audience embraces the comedic moments. The blast of jokes are ‘full on’ so sometimes you may miss a joke and if you think about it, you miss another.

This show is jam packed with laughs from start to finish! The actors’ comic timing is impeccable, and the writing is sharp and witty throughout; cannot recommend this show enough!

Arrogant, unfunny and pretentious.

I thought the show was absolutely brilliant! Definitely one of the best in the fringe. The 'Surreal humour' was done perfectly and the acting was top-notch. I loved it!

If your out and don’t want your festival night to end, I would give this show a try. It’s crammed with daft jokes and ham acting. Made for a good end to our night. Great fun.

A delightful hard-boiled-detective romp set in space, very much in the tradition of the Zucker Brothers comedies (Airplane! etc). The jokes are nonstop and the cast's comedic chops are impeccable.

If you liked Naked Gun/Airplane/Police Squad, you'll enjoy this. If you've no idea what those are, see it anyway: you'll want to find those films afterwards!
Very funny - well written and well executed.
