Crack up at a Hold-Up

The Comedy About a Bank Robbery  is, as the title would suggest, a comedy about a bank robbery. It's also "the funniest show in town" according toThe Telegraph, and comes with a reassuring amount of five-star reviews from its three-year tenancy in London. Touring to Birmingham's Rep for its very first trip out of the capital, the production is by the same people as the almost embarrassingly successfulThe Play That Goes Wrong, and tracks an escaped con obsessed with nabbing the sort of diamond a Kardashian would get married and divorced over repeatedly. Expect a fast-paced, clever, right amount silly sort of a full length skit. From August 23 to September 8. Tickets are from £10, rising to £37.50.
