The talented writing / performing team The Comedy Project return to the Soho Theatre to present their 2010 season of new comedy writing; whether you’re a punter or an industry insider, if you want to know which way comedy is going, this is for you.

The Comedy Project offers audiences the unique chance of seeing new work from well-established writers performed alongside material from the best in up-and-coming comedy talent.
