Pete And Dud: Come Again: Come Again

The story behind the great comedy double-act

The tale of Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, one of Britain’s finest comedy double-acts, is told looking back from Moore’s perspective.

Following his Oscar nomination for Arthur, Moore returns home to appear on a primetime chat show. Through flashbacks and sketches the tale of the volatile comedy team is told, beginning at the beginning with Beyond The Fringe.

Pete And Dud: Come Again was originally staged at the 2005 Edinburgh Festival, where it was nominated for a Fringe First. This publication coincides with the new two-act version being staged at the Venue, London, from March 2006.
