Kings of comedy, Le Navet Bete, return to Suffolk this May to present their riotous, all-out hilarious ride through the world of Greek mythology - ‘Oh Zeus!’.

Established as one of the UK’s most-loved comedy theatre companies, Le Navet Bete is comprised of Al Dunn, Nick Bunt and Matt Freeman, and they have teamed up with Olivier Award-nominated John Nicholson (The Time Machine: A Comedy) for this latest production.

The story…

When the stability of Olympus is threatened by the marriage of Zeus’ daughter Hebe to a mere mortal, the King of the Gods hatches a plan to derail the wedding.

‘Oh Zeus!’ is a mythical farce through Ancient Greece, to the Underworld and back, with the talented trio taking on 40 characters between them.

Expect sensational physical comedy, outrageous jokes, fast paced chaos and more togas than you can smash a plate at - perfect for lovers of Fawlty Towers, Bottom and The Play That Goes Wrong.

Since 2008, Le Navet Bete has been touring the UK and internationally with their unique and chaotic style of physical comedy, and they have earned the reputation as one of the UK’s leading midscale theatre companies.

Proudly based in Devon, they are the creators of smash-hit family shows including ‘Dracula: The Bloody Truth’, ‘King Arthur’ and ‘Treasure Island’.

Supported by organisations such as Arts Council England, the Exeter Northcott Theatre and the Exeter Phoenix, they have been on a continuous mission to create and tour hilarious, physical and totally accessible comedy theatre, using creative and engaging storytelling for absolutely everyone (ages 4 - 104!).

Note: While ‘Oh Zeus!’ is suitable for ages 12+, there will be additional ‘no kids allowed’ performances - expect the same show but with more adult humour, swearing and added naughtiness. These will be the 7pm show on Wednesday, May 6, and the 7.30pm show on Friday, May 8 (both strictly 18+).

Oh Zeus! is at New Wolsey Theatre, Ipswich on 5 - 9 May 2026.
