Fresh from their run of Police Cops: The Musical at Southwark Playhouse, Police Cops bring their 80s space age comedy blockbuster to Underbelly Festival Cavendish Square. Performed by three actors armed with B-movie props, Amused Moose Comedy Award-winning Police Cops in Space is an intergalactic whirlwind spoof packed with parody references, slo-mo fights and low budget costume. The show debuted at Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2017 and enjoyed a total sell out run, followed by packed houses at Cape Town Fringe Festival 2017 and transferred to London for a two-week run at Soho Theatre.
After his father is killed by an evil robot, Sammy Johnson, the last Police Cop in the universe, blasts off in an unmanned escape pod. Now on a distant planet, Sammy must team up with Alien fighter pilot Ranger and his trusty Cyborg C9 as they embark on an intergalactic adventure across the galaxy to find Earth, avenge his father and become the best damn Police Cop in space.
Zachary Hunt, Nathan Parkinson and Tom Roe said, “Police Cops in Space is our love letter to the Sci-Fi 80’s movies we grew up watching! From The Terminator to Bladerunner to Back to the Future (with a little Dirty Dancing thrown in for good measure) Police Cops in Space is an adrenaline fuelled celebration of physical comedy, out-of-this-world characters and the ridiculousness of the sci-fi film genre. We hope you enjoy watching it as much as we do performing it!”
Police Cops are Zachary Hunt, Nathan Parkinson and Tom Roe; they create highly playful performances which combine inventive physical storytelling with their own brand of off-the-wall comedy. Parody and satire are centered at the heart of their productions, where they integrate with dynamic stagecraft, supercharged physical theatre and cinematic style. Their awards include Brighton Fringe Award for Excellence, Cape Town Fringe Best International Show and The Stage Award for Acting Excellence. Their other shows include Police Cops, Police Cops the Musical, and Badass Be Thy Name.
