The Duck House Tickets

Comedian Ben Miller stars in a new comedy about the MPs expenses scandal. Which as life imitates art is rearing its head again.

Ben Miller’s TV credits include Death in Paradise, The Worst Week of My Life and The Armstrong and Miller Show, alongside his comedy partner Alexander Armstrong.

The Duck House is written by Dan Patterson and Colin Swash, and is described as an outrageous new laugh out loud comedy set in a world of dodgy receipts, dodgier deceit, and pure Parliamentary panic. The title is a reference to the ‘duck house’ claimed by Tory MP Sir Peter Viggers that came to symbolise the scandal.

Dan Patterson writes BBC2’s Mock the Week and Colin Swash writes for BBC1’s Have I Got News For You and the satirical magazine Private Eye.

The Duck House is set in May 2009, with Gordon Brown’s labour government in meltdown and a General Election looming. Labour backbencher Robert Houston just loves being an MP and will do anything to save his seat, including change sides.

All is apparently going swimmingly well with Houston’s defection to the Tory benches until the eve of his final interview with Sir Norman Cavendish, a Tory grandee, when the Expenses Scandal breaks.

As the media close in and public fury mounts over taxpayers’ millions being frittered away on second homes, biscuits, hanging baskets, moat-cleaning  and duck houses, Robert has a plan. However, Robert and his secretarial staff, namely his wife Felicity, student son Seb and Russian housekeeper Ludmilla find themselves in big trouble. Just how did the EU bring together Seb’s gorgeous girlfriend Holly and Sir Norman?

Ben Miller stars as Robert Houston M.P. alongside an all-star West End cast of Nancy Carroll, Debbie Chazen, James Musgrave, Simon Shepherd  and Diana Vickers.

Tony & Olivier award winning Terry Johnson (Hysteria, End of the Rainbow) directs this hilarious satire from two writers Dan Patterson and Colin Swash who’ve been making fun of politicians for decades.
