Description Stop Calling Me Vernon charts a day in the life of a brilliantly inept double-act. Last of the vaudevillians, Austin and Porter fall out of bed and into their hackneyed routines for what could be the last time. A string of hilariously failed sketches is followed by an heroic attempt at high drama and finally topped with the duo's own anarchic classic 'Waiter on Elastic.' Intensely funny and surprisingly moving, Stop Calling Me Vernon is comic theatre in The Right Size's own inimitable collision of styles. Beckett meets the Golden Age of Variety - surreal, anarchic and brilliantly executed.
