One Man, Two Guvnors in London
This is a genuine side-splitting, laugh-a-minute show that delivers a great night out, packed with sparkling banter, hilarious slapstick comedy and funny-bone tickling farce, complete with a live Skiffle band on stage between acts. It’s world class entertainment, a very popular show, so book now and join in the fun!
One Man, Two Guvnors – The story
One Man, Two Guvnors is based on a classic 1700s Italian comedy called The Servant of Two Masters, written by playwright Carlo Goldoni. But the writer of the modern version, Richard Bean has made it his own, bringing the tale to contemporary life by setting it in swinging 1960s Brighton. He has also augmented the original story by adding a ridiculously ancient and doddery character called Alfie and including side splitting running gags about Australians and their ‘love’ of opera.
The main character Francis is obsessed with food, but he’s unemployed. When two employers show an interest at the same time he sees an opportunity to double his wages, but things get tricky when he discovers that two bosses mean twice the amount of work, particularly when one of his new employers turns out to be the daughter of a terrifying East End gangster.
Confusion arises as the luckless Francis forgets which employer wants him to do what, and his grand scheme starts to unravel before his eyes. Can he keep his parallel lives separate for long enough to take his lover to Majorca on a romantic break, or is his greedy goose well and truly cooked?
Buy the soundtrack!
If you love the music, you’ll be able to buy a copy of the sound track, written especially for the show by composer Grant Olding, in the foyer after the show. Expect plenty of audience participation, a wonderfully energetic cast and masses of genuine belly laughs!

Hilarious, fun evening!One Man Two Guvnors was honestly one of the funniest nights I've had at the theatre for a long time. From the very beginning the audience is introduced to full on hilarious situations in which the main character Francis gets himself into. Very funny and clever script, will have you laughing from the beginning. Went with my dad who is not a theatre person and he thought it was brilliant! Highly recommended!

One Man, Two Guvnors: an amusing up-dating of an old story.While the story is not new some of the twists were and even though I was a bit jet lagged I enjoyed it. The use of the 'audience' was good too. While there was a lot of farce and slapstick humour there were a lot of genuinely witty lines in it too. Worth seeing.

Best comedy i've seen in a long timeHaving booked tickets for myself and partner I was rather apprehensive that it would be let-down, I had no need to worry. Rufus Hound in his portrayal of the One Man who has Two Guvnors was brilliant, engaging the audience and improvising brilliantly to create one the best comedies i've seen in a long time. I would recommend the show to anyone that wants to spend hours laughing out loud.

One man, two guvnors - five starsThe show was excellent. Owain Arthur was brilliant in the lead role and was ably supported by a multi-talented cast. The script was witty and the slapstick second to none. Owain Arthur had the audience in the palm of his hand and was utterly charming. I would recommend this show to anyone who has a desire to be genuinely entertained by wonderful comic actors.
