Prepare for a hilarious hour of (unconvincing) romance, (sloppy) action and (tenuous) espionage! Don't miss the debut whirlwind comedy from The Defectors. Richard P Cooper, an eccentric ex-detective, presents his (heavily embellished) exploits on the stage (with mixed results)! He guides the audience through his journey to the USA, grappling with assassination plots and three-legged dogs, while three hapless drama students embody every other questionable character. This laugh-a-minute romp is sure to elate and baffle in equal measure! 'An utterly endearing romp through the clichés of crime drama... irreverent and irresistible' **** (LostInTheatreland.co.uk).

EdFringe Talk: Defective Inspector: An American Odyssey
"Richard is played by me (Harrison Cole), who also happens to be the writer the show, resulting in a very strange ongoing Venom-like metasymbiosis between us, stretching back to earlier versions of the show from years gone by."
Dan Lentell, Get Your Coats On, 25th July 2024Unfiltered #22 - The reality of getting Fringe ready with 'Defective Inspector: An American Odyssey'
"Hello my dear, humble reader. You find me, your talented narrator, in the midst of a heated discussion with my cast as we attempt to book our Edinburgh transport during a break in rehearsals."

"Our audience members always have their personal favourite gags, so hopefully they'll awake with a few favourite quotes/moments rattling around in their brain (while trying to nurse the mild hangover from trying to process what they've witnessed)."
