Perki & Mann Are Spooked
I discovered Alexander Perkins & Richard Mann by accident last year and loved their show, so I went back to see 'Perki & Mann are Spooked'.
Self-written covering all sorts of subjects that obviously amuse both of them, we see Perki watching a horror movie when the Grimm reaper appears behind him. It's only Mann dressed up to go to a fancy dress party, when a letter arrives for Perki informing him that his great uncle had died.  If Perki goes to the old family home and plays a game solving several clues the next day he could be heir to an amount of cash.
Mann persuades Perki to go down that night and all hell breaks loose almost literally.
The writing is so clever, the gags come thick and fast, some cerebral, some physical, some just hilarious.  To tell you more would be to spoil this brilliantly clever show.  See it if you can before they sell out completely they are two comedy stars definitely on the ascension.
