About this show
Fresh from their smash-hit, critically acclaimed debut, sell-out Edinburgh Comedy Award and BAFTA-nominated freaks return for five nights only. A cursed-couple’s-character-comedy spectacle, for lovers of the strange, stupid and sexy. Written and performed by Broadcast Award winning creators of Channel 4’s 'Peaked', third wheel an unmissable hour of weirdo soulmates and 'sheer oddball charisma' (Scotsman). ‘Bawdy, joyfully daft, weapons-grade whimsy. It’s still what the Fringe does best.’ (New York Times). British Comedy Guides Best Reviewed Shows of the Fringe 2025, Best Newcomer Edinburgh Comedy Awards, Comedian’s Choice, and Biggest Award in Comedy 2025.
