'A fantastic musical comedy group.. I really loved it!'-Smooth FM

"Titillatingly tangible… Just don’t take your mother. Unless of course your mother is a kinky saucebox who welcomes scenes of hilarious and graphic embarrassment." 4 stars The List
Bob and Jim
Bob and Jim are an old school musical comedy double act whose unique brand of neo-music-hall horseplay and surreal take on pop culture makes them an audience favorite.
Steve Aruni and Henry the Groover
Steve Aruni presents Henry the Groover, his incredible saxophone playing hoover.
Haiste and Lawrence
Rising stars Greg Haiste and Marie Lawrence' (The Skinny) can't show you a highlight of their hit Edinburgh comedy 'Jollygoodlarks - How to Make it Huge' but the brilliant news is The 'Duke and Dukess of Cambridge' will teach you all about fame instead. 'well-timed filth... hilarious... very silly knockabout fun' (The Skinny) 'an absolute delight' (The Stage)
Peggy PomPom
Peggy Pompom performs a charmingly cartoonish skit where she attempts to guide a World War II airplane back to safety by any means necessary, including feather fans and consummate tassel-twirling. The act is an instant hit with its accomplished physical comedy and seamless farce. (Erotic Review 2011)
