Crime thriller meets children’s entertainment in an insanely funny play.
Inspired by Agatha Christie, but with prolific playwright Tony Laumberg’s own wacky spin, MURDER MOST FUNNY! has all the elements for a hilarious night’s entertainment including a hit children’s band (complete with their individual coloured tee-shirts), a star-struck detective, a cynical publicist and a dead body in the backstage bathroom!
"A clever nod to Australian culture. Laumberg's characters are clever yet comedic. Any true-blue Aussie will find this hilarious." Weekend Notes.
