Stuffed with invention and a delightful lack of respect for theatrical convention, Spymonkey’s Moby Dick brings together a remarkable team of creators, combining the hilarious physical comedy that has delighted audiences around the world with Music Hall, burlesque, dance, big show-stopping songs, puppetry, illusion, mentalism and a raft of stunning special effects.

Spymonkey’s award-winning brand of comedy is a 21st Century mix of Fawlty Towers, Marx Brothers and Mel Brooks, overflowing with brilliant characters, visual humour, slapstick comedy and outrageous naughtiness. Since their formation in 1997, Spymonkey have built a huge international following in 20 countries, with sell-out shows at Just for Laughs Festival Montreal, Sydney Opera House, Melbourne Comedy Festival and London’s Leicester Square Theatre. Spymonkey’s surreal, inventive and irreverent style is an uproarious highlight of theatrical culture.

Jos Houben was an original member of Complicité and director of physical comedy duo The Right Size for 10 years. Recent work includes Peter Brook’s Beckett Fragments and his remarkably successful one-man show ‘The Art of Laughter’. He is a professor at the École Jacques Lecoq Paris.
