Book Description
Arriving in Limbo after his lonely end in Australia, Tony Hancock finds himself in a hospital waiting room very much like the waiting room in 'The Blood Donor'. There he is met with the red tape and bureaucracy that drove him mad in life; a Galton and Simpson-esque tribute to possibly the greatest comedian of his generation.

Book Description
Bombing People concerns Ralph Sherman, an advertising executive, who finds himself in an asylum in the Deep South in 1962 after an incident where he tried to attack President Kennedy outside of the UN building armed with only a tomato. As the play progresses he begins to tell the tale of the Enola Gay and his part in the atomic bombing of Hiroshima seventeen years before. Is it just another fantasy or was Ralph actually part of one of the most infamous acts in military history? Only by facing his true past, which he has long denied, can Ralph reclaim what is left of his sanity.

Book Description
Funny People is Roy Smiles’ whimsical account of his life in comedy; from his childhood growing up with the star actors and comedians on television, stand-up and film in the 1960s and 1970s, through to his own work, writing hit plays that pay tribute to those legends of comedy who had a vital influence on both him and British popular culture of the post-war years. From Sunday Night at the Palladium and The Dean Martin Show through Monty Python to The Simpsons and When Harry Met Sally and from Laurel and Hardy and Danny Kaye through Les Dawson to Jon Stewart and Chris Rock, Funny People is a compelling celebration of comedy and its value in our lives. I am a religious man and I believe in the Holy Trinity:and they are Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor and Bill Hicks. Amen. Billy Connolly is the best comic ever to come out of the British Isles in my lifetime: I can prove it using slides and pie-charts. Jo Brand [is] easily the most fearless performer I’ve ever seen live (she used to swat down hecklers like they were slightly irritating gnats). Am I the only guy in the world who adores Abbot & Costello? Does this mean I’m a bad person?
