Andrew Lloyd Webber in Jail is Larry and Paul’s magnum opus for Freedom Day
Composer and theatre impresario, Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber, has made his feelings very clear on the delay in lifting coronavirus regulations, which should have happened today – at the time of writing.
Speaking to the Telegraph, he said –
“We are going to open, come hell or high water … We will say: ‘come to the theatre and arrest us.’
Inevitably, there were jokes.
Now that I would pay to see. https://t.co/7Q9n1urjgL

Comedians Larry and Paul – Larry Budd and Paul Dunphy – used their impressive comedy skills to show us what it might be like if the police called His Lordship’s bluff.
It’s absolutely brilliant, and you don’t have to take our word for it – seeing is believing.

Thankfully I’m not a big ALW musical fan so many of the lines ‘just pass me by’ 😇

It looks like he won’t be going to jail after all, so take that look off your face.
