Hilarity is inevitable when British comedy duo David Beeler and Tom Konkle return to the Santa Monica Playhouse. Dave and Tom’s “A Tribute To Dave and Tom” is a rollicking send-up of self importance. This evening promises in advance to be a cloying, wistful, brazenly maudlin affair. Dave and Tom present a look back at the comedy sketches, characters, and monologues that made the eponymous comedy team the corpses that they are today. Monty Python fans, along with anyone who ever got a good chuckle out of Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, would be well served to make their reservations now for this premier work.
