About this event

Event info

Following its hit run at Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Camden Fringe and 2022 UK Tour; Shoddy
Theatre are taking slapstick comedy A Shoddy Detective and The Art Of Deception back on
tour, but this time bigger than ever!
Described as “witty, endearing and good clean fun”, we follow a bumbling detective as he is called
upon to uncover the mystery of a priceless stolen painting, but when he cannot solve it himself, he is
forced to enlist the help of an old nemesis. Uh oh. Together, the pair must interrogate the many
characterful suspects that reside at the manor, in order to catch the conniving culprit and solve the
crime of the century.
Shoddy Theatre was first established in 2018, their first production A Shoddy Detective and the Art of
Deception was such a hit that it was awarded funding from Essex University to become an
established theatrical production company. Since then, spearheaded by Mitch Donaldson, Shoddy
have gone from strength to strength and their new partnership with Joshua Beaumont and Matthew
Emeny will see their largest tour yet and lots more to come for the future of Shoddy Theatre.
