A Shoddy Detective and The Art of Deception
01 Mar 2027
DIRECT FROM THE WEST END!
A laugh-out-loud comedy whodunnit featuring four actors, a dozen characters and a whole load of chaos.
When a priceless painting vanishes at a manor auction, Detective Stuart Pidcock and his unlikely ally must interrogate eccentric suspects, outwit a cunning thief, and crack the century’s mystery.
The unlikely duo must question the colourful array of suspects living at the manor, all while trying to track down the cunning thief and solve the crime of the century.
After sell-out runs in the West End, at the Edinburgh Fringe, and across the UK, the Shoddy team return bigger, funnier, and even more ridiculous than before.
Catch the comedy that’s taking the country by storm – before it vanishes without a clue!

A comedic gem. It’s a must-see for fans of farce and comedy. This may well become one of the most sought-after tickets of the season.
This is one detective mystery play I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
Guaranteed to provide a night of entertainment that is anything but shoddy!
