Somebody's Pinched my Bottom - Paperback

by Anthony Stamp (Author)

Somebody's Pinched My Bottom! is a fast and furious madcap comical farce of mistaken identities and misunderstandings. It takes place in the first-floor office of Theatrical Properties Ltd, a small business which hires out costumes, props and novelty party items to theatre groups, societies and individuals. Run by the fastidious Mr Jenkins and his loyal secretary Carol, the day begins badly when a workman arrives to dig a large hole in the pavement outside accompanied by a loud radio and a louder pneumatic drill. Jenkins and Carol cannot hear themselves think, let alone what their customers are asking for. Consequently a large classical bust goes to a prankster in a gaudy suit and a Mark 3 Comedy Bottom Supreme is collected by a highly dignified pompous city gent!

But this is just the beginning of the mirthful mishaps. Very soon the farcical tangle includes the city gent's neurotic daughter, his formidable wife, a downbeat carpenter and a fearsome octogenarian in full Amazonian costume! Add to this a deadly blowpipe, a broken desk drawer, a highly embarrassing party accessory and a pile of wet cement, and you have all the ingredients of a classic farce for a really good night of side-splitting laughter.
