About this show

David Harmer and Ray Globe, the irrepressible Glummer Twins, are back with another irreverent trawl through the fads, fashions and music of the eight decades that made them what they are today. Old. Stand-up spoken word comedy and music from the Beat Generation. Expect sharp-tongued nostalgia, musical mayhem and brutally honest takes on the indignities of ageing. 'You absolutely won't regret spending an hour in their company' (FringeGuru.com). 'A perfect double act' (Chris Neville Smith). 'A completely different take on stand-up. Seriously clever and very funny' (BuxtonFringe.org.uk).
