Just curious. The funniest one I've ever seen was a production of Midsummer Night's Dream in London. Can't even remember who did it! I remember laughing so hard though!

"Bad Play" at Edinburgh Fringe years ago (maybe 2006?). So funny.

ThePlay That Goes Wrong
I laughed so much my cheeks hurt!

Another vote for The Play That Goes Wrong - just brilliant.

Shoxfordian · 06/10/2017 13:47

The Book of Mormon was amazing

BackforGood · 06/10/2017 13:50

The Menopause Monologues

I came on to say The Play That Goes Wrong. It was brilliant. Book of Mormon is also fantastic (but not for the easily offended).

I saw "The Knowledge" this week, in its limited run. I laughed a lot!

Also some years ago, Zipp - 100 musicals in 90 minutes by Gyles Brandreth was incredibly funny. "Andrew Lloyd Webber was a genius - he could write a musical about any boring subject, such as cats! He could have written one called: Socks."

Absolutely 100% The Play That Goes Wrong. Brilliant!!!

Doje · 06/10/2017 13:54

Avenue Q. Does that count as a play? It was brilliant!!

mydogisthebest · 06/10/2017 13:55

One Man Two Governors with James Cordon. I don't think I have ever laughed so much in my life.

Also the comedy version of The 39 Steps was hilarious

Sorry to be so predictable - but another vote for The Play That Goes Wrong!

DunkMeInTomatoSoup · 06/10/2017 13:57

Book of Mormon. Pure filth Grin

littlemisscomper · 06/10/2017 13:58

Yeah, The Play That Goes Wrong. It's fantastic.

donners312 · 06/10/2017 13:59

The play that goes wrong is so so funny.

LostInLeics · 06/10/2017 14:02

Noises Off. Seen several different productions and its always been great.

MotherofKitties · 06/10/2017 14:03

Noises Off - absolutely hilarious. Side splitting laughter from start go finish, I can't recommend it enough!

MotherofKitties · 06/10/2017 14:03

LostInLeics - cross post! Grin

SheDoneAlreadyDoneHadHerses · 06/10/2017 14:06

The Play That Goes Wrong had me laughing so much my shoulders were shaking and I stopped making noises. It was absolutely hilarious.

Avenue Q is bloody brilliant also

Peter Pan Goes Wrong and the Book of Mormon.

iklboo · 06/10/2017 14:18

The Play That Goes Wrong, by a country mile.

iklboo · 06/10/2017 14:19

Peter Pan Goes Wrong was on tv. DS laughed so much he couldn't walk.

Moanyoldcow · 06/10/2017 14:22

I'm another 'The Play that Goes Wrong'.

I also saw a superb production of 'The Canterbury Tales' with actors playing folk instruments. I nearly fell off my seat i laughed so much.

EssexGurl · 06/10/2017 14:24

The Play That Goes Wrong. We went after seeing Peter Pan on tv. The real play was even better.

One Man Two Guvnors. James Corden was amazing.

Can't make up my mind over which was better.

Now want to see the bank robbery one.

EllyOlly · 06/10/2017 14:36

Clybourne Park.

Or any Martin McDonagh

Justwaitingforaline · 06/10/2017 14:42

Book of Mormon. Utterly hilarious and very, very rude
