Sunday Times Interview

Here's a Q and A from an Interview for a Sunday News paper (2016) that I found this morning. It never got published, so here it is EXCLUSIVELY for you folks. - Arms

How do you wake up in the morning?

Sideways, with most of the covers off, like there's been some sort of a struggle in the night. We're writing new material at the moment which means mental dreams.

  • How do you arrange your room?

My partner occupies at least 90% w...

Sketch Diary - Confession sketch...

It's been 3 years since we've attempted to write a new show, and I've forgotten how quickly we need to turn around these weekly filmed sketches. We basically lose half a day, which when we only spend two days.. is well.. significant. That said, we can't help but remain ourselves, which is, agonize over every single line right up until the time we have to shoot, and then cram the filming into 45 mins... will we every learn? 

Thankfully, Hog has spent the previous day doing the set, ...

5 minutes of Poor Foil trying to Start the Show in back in 2016

Came across this preview show we recorded on a phone to watch back while we were still working on making it better. Looks like we were in good spirits. Seems like we wouldn't let Foil start the show. This was preview day 2.

At least I think it was 2016 they all kinda meld into one these days.

Evil Gran Shoplifting alternative ending + outtakes

We wrote another ending for this sketch, so I thought I'd share it with you all. Hog's portrayal of the pathetic supermarket manager was so on point that we kept laughing.

US Tour Diary 1

We've barely had an afternoon at home after Cork, and we're off to the airport. Now that everything is packed, goodbyes are done and all the paperwork is ready and in place, the excitement and giddiness starts. Just the feeling of being on a plane going anywhere is enough right now. I'm trying to get Hog giddy. The key is, if I can set him off, then he'll be messing for hours. I get him to review the cheese in the airport as the snob, and that's a start. Duck, our "Tour Dad" is stressed. Airp...

Sketch Diary - Several ones

There is something fun about trying to film a tonne of sketches in the same week. We usually do our best stuff when our backs are against the wall, with rigid deadlines. Our hair tends to get a little greyer too, but that's for another dye, I mean day.  The previous few weeks have had a similar tinge to them.. conversations going something like this

"okay, what scripts do people have?"

 - "I have one that's really simple, we could film it in a few hours, no edit"
