DocDoc at Palace Theatre, Southend

Morris Gilbert and Óskar Eiriksson present the UK premiere of Laurent Baffie’s outrageously hilarious worldwide hit comedy play DocDoc - which has had over 4 million people in over 37 countries in stitches - at the Palace Theatre Southend from 18-23 February.

In this hysterical farce which pokes fun at all our idiosyncrasies and foibles, Doctor Cooper, a renowned specialist in obsessive-compulsive disorders, is running late. Meanwhile, he has a waiting room filled with patients desperate to be treated. First up there’s Fred with a bad case of Tourette’s, and behind him a growing queue of more and more challenging compulsions. Practice Assistant, Anna, attempts to keep on top of the mounting chaos whilst we await the good doctor's arrival but, with the extended absence of Doctor Cooper, the group has no other option than to try their own version of group therapy, with screamingly funny consequences.
