Zachary Hunt is Jimmy Johnson in Police Cops the Musical

Actor

Police Cops: The Musical is the all-singing, all-dancing expansion of the anarchic Police Cops universe – a high-octane comedy musical that takes everything audiences loved about the original Fringe hit and blows it up to blockbuster scale.

Set in USA, 1980, the show drops us into a neon-soaked world of tight jeans, fast cars, heroic moustaches, and two wildly mismatched police cops determined to bring down the baddest cat in America. It’s a loving parody of classic cop movies, filtered through relentless physical comedy, hyper-stylised choreography, and a gleefully excessive original score.

Written by the multi award-winning comedy company Police Cops, with music by Ben Adams (Eugenius), the musical leans unapologetically into spectacle. Big production numbers sit alongside bullet-fast sight gags and absurd narrative escalation, creating a piece that moves at action-movie speed while never losing its comic precision.

Critics have praised the show for its razor-sharp timing and fearless commitment to silliness, describing it as “the cleverest comedy musical in London” (Theatre Weekly). Comparisons to Airplane! and The Naked Gun are well earned – this is parody that understands its source material deeply enough to push it to delirious extremes.
