In 1943, Agent Dymock Watson of the Special Operations Executive, an elite unit of special forces commandos, was parachuted into Romania charged with undertaking an extremely dangerous secret mission - to single handedly smash the Nazi's! Now his grandson, Humphrey Ker, gives this true(ish) story hilarious life in a multi-character hit adventure comedy.
The debut solo show from Ker sold out its entire Edinburgh Festival run in 2011, was featured on Newsnight Review, achieved multiple five star reviews and went on to win one of the most prestigious prizes in comedy, The Fosters Award for Best Newcomer.
Humphrey is also a regular contestant on BBC2 panel show Fast and Loose and appears frequently on BBC Radio 4 as one third of award winning sketch troupe The Penny Dreadfuls.

Selby Town Hall is an award winning arts centre, located in a prominent position at the end of Selby's main street, Gowthorpe. The intimate venue, with a seating capacity of 150, hosts world class performances from across a range of art forms including theatre, music, dance and comedy.
Built as a Methodist chapel in 1862, the venue ceased operating as a place of worship in August 1956. For several years following it was used as a tyre depot, but the building was eventually left derelict and fell into disrepair in the late 80s. In 1992, Selby Town Council bought and renovated the premises which now houses the Town Council offices as well as the main performance space and a smaller studio room.
