STOP!... You’re Killing Me

Presented by Hambledon Productions

Thu 3 July 2025

A Detective Spoof written by John Hewer, directed by Rachael Hewer, and presented by Hambledon Productions.

“Things had been pretty quiet at the office of my agency. Ever since my partner had lost his sense of hearing, that is…”

Meet Sam Sloan, Private Detective, as he tackles his most dangerous, most compelling, most gag-packed case yet.

New York, 1938. America is in the grip of The Great Depression, so we’ve added some jokes to help things along.

Max Summers, a local horse-bookie, has disappeared. His femme fatale sister, Rowetta, wants to uncover the truth, and calls on our intrepid hero to solve the mystery.

Join Sloan, Rowetta, his assistant Frank and a plethora of gloriously clichéd characters, red herrings and running horses.

From the makers of ‘Dracula! One Bloody Fang After Another’ and ‘Maybe Dick’, this clever compendium of witty puns and broad slapstick will leave you clueless.
