LSF staffers write, direct and produce West End hit starting out with nothing but guts and a passion for success!

If you attended the PitchFest at the LSF this year, you will know Michael and his evil twin Paul – but what you might not know is that they have a super successful West End show playing  RIGHT NOW, and they could use your support by either attending, or by sharing the news about this hugely successful endeavour.

The show was written and produced by Michael, Paul and Gemma – all LSF veterans.

Here’s what Michael said about it…

Michael Clarkson, keeping calm and holding the Great British Pichfest together at the LSFWe took what we learned from the festival over the years and decided to take our writing career into our own hands and take a show to Edinburgh.

Our comedy play – Death Ship 666! – is the epic disaster parody which critics have hailed as “Airplane!” meets “Titanic”. The story follows the doomed crew and passengers aboard a half-built ship’s maiden voyage to the Bermuda Triangle.

After sell out shows everyday at the Edinburgh Festival, with glowing five star reviews in national press, we have now transferred to the West End and would love to invite you all to join us on our voyage! The show is PG so children are extremely welcome.

The LSF discount can be used by calling up and quoting LSF666 to the Box Office on 020 7287 2875 to get your ticket for £14.
