About this show
Thank God you're here! We have so much to tell you!! Charly Clive and Ellen Robertson (aka double act Britney) are back. And this time? They're doing sketches again. When they last appeared at the Fringe, Britney's was one of the Best-Reviewed Shows (Comedy.co.uk). Since then, Charly has played Steve Carell's daughter in HBO's Rooster and Ellen has played Rachel Weisz's daughter in Netflix's Vladimir. So please buy tickets safe in the knowledge that they have hot fictional parents. And hot real ones too! 'Ferociously funny' * (iNews.co.uk). 'Infectiously joyous' ½ (Chortle.co.uk). 'Refreshingly silly' (Guardian).
