Come On, Jeeves is a comedic play co-written by Guy Bolton and P. G. Wodehouse. The play was written in the summer of 1952, and toured the English provinces in the summer of 1954. Wodehouse adapted the play into the novel Ring for Jeeves, which was first published in April 1953, a year before the play reached production.[1] Come On, Jeeves is still occasionally produced and was presented as recently as December 2017.[2]

In the play, the young aristocrat Bill, Lord Towcester, cannot afford to maintain his large country house. He tries to solve his financial problems with the help of his resourceful butler, Jeeves. As with the novel adaptation Ring for Jeeves, Bertie Wooster does not appear in the play but is mentioned.
