A play about three of Britain's greatest comedians is coming to Glasgow this summer.
The Last Laugh, written and directed by Paul Hendy, will be performed at the Theatre Royal from July 15 to 19.
This follows a sell-out run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
The play re-imagines the lives of comedy legends Tommy Cooper, Eric Morecambe, and Bob Monkhouse.
It is filled with jokes and stories, and is said to be "nostalgic" and "poignant".
The lead actors will be reprising their roles from the Edinburgh run.
Bob Golding will play Eric Morecambe, a role he previously played in the West End hit Morecambe at the Duchess Theatre.
He was nominated for an Olivier Award for his performance.
Damian Williams will take on the role of Tommy Cooper, having previously played the comedian in the tour of Being Tommy Cooper.
Simon Cartwright has been an actor and impressionist since the 1980s and has appeared on the award-winning Channel 4 show Toast of London.
Jamie Wilson, the producer, said: "The team here at JWP were bowled over by the relevance of their timeless comedy and after seeing it myself in Edinburgh, I just knew it had to have a further life so many more people could experience it.
"What is so brilliant about this play is the audiences who love and remember Eric, Tommy and Bob will be able to relive their comedy greatness and those that don’t, will be introduced to the genius of these national treasures.
"I'm so pleased these icons will be back on the London stage for audiences to enjoy."
The Last Laugh's set design is by Lee Newby, music and soundscape design by Ethan Lewis Maltby, sound design by Callum Wills, costume design by Amy Chamberlain and casting by Kate Roddy.
