– A comedy experience promising love, honour and disarray

Packing 5-star reviews from London’s West End and Edinburgh Fringe, this bonkers immersive comedy from the makers of Faulty Towers The Dining Experience makes its debut at the Exeter Northcott Theatre, promising to love, honour and disarray…

The Wedding Reception sees Kate and Will expecting a small party to celebrate their wedding. But Kate’s mum had other plans. Cue uninvited guests, misbehaving family and secrets better left in the closet!

This unbeatable theatrical dining experience is a side-splitting, highly improvised comedy featuring four actors playing nine characters in a whirlwind two hours full of laughter, love and tears. There’s even a sit-down meal – and maybe some dancing! So join the party – it’s a rollercoaster ride with more than a few surprises!

Exeter Northcott Theatre and Le Navet Bete's Dick Whittington artwork. Background: a foggy panorama photo of the city of London, with iconic buildings such as Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, and St Paul's Cathedral. The cityscape is washed over with a burgundy haze. Foreground: A black and white cat (black body, white neck collar, white paws) looks towards the cityscape and we see them in near silhouette. They are stood on a yellow-brick path, with green grassy hills either side of them. On the hills, grey rats with large red eyes. On the left hand side of the cat, a rat holds a stereotypical hobo sack on a stick. At the top of the artwork, gold text reads: 'Exeter Northcott Theatre and Le Navet Bete present Dick Whittington.' Another group of rats with large red eyes are playing around the letters in 'Dick Whittington'. A cat paw icon replaces the dot on top of the letter 'I' in 'Dick', and a block of cheese replaces the dot on top of the second letter 'I' in 'Whittington.
