'Defective Inspector' is the latest whirlwind comedy from Laughing Mirror. An eccentric ex-Detective, Richard P. Cooper, attempts to stage one of his "legendary" exploits to the USA, with help from two hapless drama students. The cast of 3 just about manage to perform their way through a ridiculous series of adventures, involving three-legged dogs and assassination plots, while tensions run high between them and the show falls apart quicker than Richard’s failed novelist career. The show that finds a sweet spot between Garth Marenghi's Darkplace and The 39 Steps hits London after a sell-out debut at the Brighton Fringe this year.
