“Smart and Funny” Anti-Lockdown Musical Scotch Egg Announces New London Dates
Described by Daily Telegraph music critic Neil McCormick as “smart and funny”, anti-lockdown musical Scotch Egg’s initial run at the Drayton Theatre sold out in two days. Now, new dates have been announced at the larger Playground Theatre in Latimer Road, London W10. It’s running there May 4th-7th, with shows every evening at 7.30pm and an additional 3pm show on Saturday.
Tickets are available on the theatre website and the show website, where you can also read reviews and more. Teaser videos available here and here.
Here’s what the website says:
2020: A Year to Forget
Remember New Year’s Eve 2019? The parties, the promises, the plans? Instead, we got the pandemic. Twenty years on, a late-night news show is running a retrospective of 2020. In the studio with sharp-tongued presenter, Judith Harper-Jones, is ex-PM Lord Johnson. As the peer struggles to explain the inexplicable, a series of characters take the audience through the comic and the tragic aspects of the crisis.
The show is not afraid to ask profound questions about life, love, death and whether a scotch egg really does constitute a substantial meal.
With satirical numbers like “The Laws are Set in Stone” and “He’s Gonna Save Christmas”, combined with the pathos of songs like, “Fading Away” and “We’re All Key Workers After All”, this musical romp will provide thought-provoking satire and a much-needed Covid boost – without the need for a fourth jab.

Profanity and abuse will be removed and may lead to a permanent ban.
Hopefully “Lord Johnson” and his merry band of scientists have been strung up by the balls for a public stoning by then
In years to come, once this generation of morons has died off people will not believe that these half wits thought eating a Scotch Egg with your pint would save your life
The life saving safe and effective Scotch Egg was supplanted by the ‘vaccine’
The advantage of the egg over the ‘vaccine’ was that the egg has killed fewer people
You do know eggs are in clinical trials till February 2023 don’t you?
These are Scotch Eggs and there are no trials north of the border (unless of course you include Alex Salmond’s show trial)
