HOLMES AND WATSON
History’s greatest detective tackles Chicago’s murky underworld in his final thrilling escapade, recently discovered by award-winning comedy duo Max and Ivan (Time Out Critics Choice / Edinburgh Fosters Comedy Award winners). A prohibition-era tale of revenge, whiskey and javelins.
************
So we started writing a show, at the very beginning of 2011. It previewed in London and Brighton, and then we took it to Buxton, and then the Edinburgh Fringe. And then London again, for a few nights. The show is called ‘Max and Ivan are… Holmes and Watson’, it’s directed by the extraordinarily talented Jessica Ransom.
This January, we’re performing ’Max and Ivan are… Holmes and Watson’ for a six night run in the incredible Soho Theatre. The very same Soho Theatre that houses Tim Key, the Pajama Men, and even that miserable genius Stewart Lee. We’re there for these dates:
January 12th, 13th, 14th, 19th, 20th and 21st.
We’re excited, and we’re terrified, but mainly we’re excited.
