Tommy Cooper’s Fez
After a billion bad business ideas (not all illegal) Dad finally has “The Big One”. But time has other plans.
Tommy Cooper’s Fez charts the journey of a dry-witted, overworked 7-year-old, stumbling through 80’s life in Leicester, with her emotionally fractured, yet eternally optimistic dad, one stolen good at a time. Fast forward 20 years, and dodgy playground deals spiral into a comedy as heartbreaking as it is hilarious.
Armed with unfiltered wit and unapologetically flawed characters, this solo show rides the waves of a dad-daughter bond built on wheels, deals and terminal cancer.
Direct from its critically acclaimed world premiere in Los Angeles, Dana Gartland (Fierce Artist Nominee) brings Tommy Cooper’s Fez to The Other Palace for a special Gala performance. Directed by Rebecca Reaney, it’s a break-your-heart, build-you-back-up-again, laugh-out-loud comedy, full of best intentions and terrible odds.
