Director

Simon Greiner (Cranston Cup winner, National Theatresports Champion)

With

Will Erimya (How Not to Behave, ABC. The Checkout, ABC)

+ the Improv Theatre Sydney Ensemble

Axel Cobretti, played by the chronically funny Will Erimya, is the coolest, slickest, hairiest undercover dude you ever did see. This world-famous super-detective has been struck by a mysterious tragedy and must come out of retirement to solve the case and save the world. Axel Cobretti never backs down and never leaves without solving the case and gettin' loose.

Originally conceived by two-time Cranston Cup winner and 2-time National Theatresports Champion, Simon Greiner, ITS Axel Cobretti Undercover is a 1970's-styled cop detective show that could go anywhere and will be showing for just 2 nights - with just one special show for the Sydney Comedy Festival on 29th April!

With input from the audience and the supporting play given by the award-winning Improv Theatre Sydney's ensemble, ITS Axel Cobretti Undercover is a different show every time - Axel can go anywhere, meet anyone and get into all manner of trouble as he battles to solve the case, all with the effortless, sexy cool of the world's greatest detective.
