Review: ONE MAN, TWO GUV'NORS: A Laugh Out Loud Farce Filled With Surprises At CVRep

by June August — Jan 21, 2026

Whether or not you are familiar with this chaotic style of British comedy, Richard Bean’s One Man, Two Guv’nors offers an enjoyable introduction to fast-paced, wacky farce. And I mean wacky. There’s nothing serious or thought-provoking about it. There’s enough of that on the news. And “guv’nor” has nothing to do with politics. It’s a colloquial British term for one’s boss or employer, in this case two employers. Bean adapted the play, set in 1963 Brighton, from Carlo Goldoni’s 18th century classic The Servant of Two Masters.

The host of a?oeThe Late Late Showa?? on CBS is the star of One Man, Two Guvnors - one of the funniest productions in National Theater history! The Ridgefield Playhouse is bringing the feel good production back to the big screen on Saturday, August 8 at 8pm as part of the Northern Trust Broadway and Cabaret Series with support from Teed & Brown.  In 2012, Corden won a Tony Award for Best Lead Actor in a Play Tony for his role as Francis Henshall.  Fired from his skiffle band, Henshall becomes minder to Roscoe Crabbe, a small time East End hood, now in Brighton to collect £6,000 from his fiancée's dad. But Roscoe is really his sister Rachel posing as her own dead brother, who's been killed by her boyfriend Stanley Stubbers. Holed up at The Cricketers' Arms, the permanently ravenous Francis spots the chance of an extra meal ticket and takes a second job with one Stanley Stubbers, who is hiding from the police and waiting to be reunited with Rachel. To prevent discovery, Francis must keep his two guvnors apart.  Simple.
