The Up and Down Detective Agency

by Mike Byham

READING - MAY 16, 2026
Directed by Benjamin McElroy
Vertical Divider
Neil Down runs a Detective Agency with his partner Stan Up when one day Barb Wire walks in. A dame with a mysterious past, and a job offer for Neil. Her sister Case Worker is missing and she thinks she’s been kidnapped. Never one to turn away a case Neil accepts the job…but Barb might be more wiry than she let on. Irreverent, hilarious, and full of heart. The Up and Down Detective Agency will make anyone crack a smile and shed a tear. ​
