'Theyre not just laugh out loud funny, but they're joyfully unpretentious and charming with it.' - Simon London - Creative Head of BBC Comedy
Biography
The Ginge, the Geordie and the Geek create genuinely funny, fast paced sketches, jam packed with great characters, silliness, surrealism and 80’s power ballads.
The boys recently appeared with Michael McIntyre and Jimmy Carr on the bill for the Childish Things Charity gig in front of 2,000 people and also on the BBC’s Dick and Dom’s Funny Business with Catherine Tate. With endorsements from Johnny Vegas, Catherine Tate, James McAvoy and Nathan Connolly (Snow Patrol), The Ginge, the Geordie and the Geek will soon be attempting an audacious bid to take over the world.
With individual comedy credits including Little Britain, Dogtown (BBC3), Simon Pegg’s Run Fatboy Run and Irvine Welsh’s Wedding Belles, along with two Fringe First Awards, it is not surprising that these three men have the audience in stitches after each and every sketch.
