Death is no Joke.

Touring Comedian Max Wilton was riding high. Appearances on Live at the Apollo, Eight out of Ten Cats and, before it was scrapped, Mock the Week, had ensured that his tours sold out.

He was appearing at the Palace Theatre in Paignton for two nights and both nights were completely full.  However, as the first night in Paignton was about to start, a runner doing the 15-minute call to the stage, found Max Wilton dead in his dressing room.

The emergency services were called, and it soon became clear that his death had not been a natural one. Police, in the form of Detective Chief Inspector Charles Appleby, arrived and began an investigation. He called on those present at the theatre to help him with his enquiries and quickly identified that he had four key suspects.

All the clues will be there to catch the killer, but will they be successfully deduced. Detective Chief Inspector Appleby, with the help of the other guests present, is determined to get the truth before the afternoon is over.

Tickets include a delicious afternoon tea served in Stage Left.
