This brand new show sees Punt and Dennis return to the live arena after four years.
Watching them on stage is like listening to counterpoint harmony. Only a lot funnier. They are two completely different comics who complement each other in such a way as to make the whole greater than the sum of the parts – and the parts are pretty good. Steve Punt is the one who looks like someone has dressed Eric Idle up as Marcus Brigstocke. He is the one with the clipboard, the serious expression and the proper stuff to say. You know, satire and things like that.
Hugh Dennis is the one with grown-up hair, a jawline that makes David Coulthard look like a chinless wonder and easy access to his inner Leslie Phillips. He does ridiculous mimes, great impressions and generally spends his time undermining his little chum. It is very, very funny. And very, very clever. They sing The Wheels on the Bus and spend an inordinate amount of time as a velociraptor.
They have a go at politics, and explain the political ramifications of chickens crossing roads. They squeeze new material out of the Olympics, the BBC and plumbers.
Hugh Dennis’s popularity has catapulted since their last tour, following his role in the award-winning Outnumbered (BBC1) and his quick-witted quips as a regular panellist on Mock the Week (BBC2). He and Steve Punt also enjoy continued success in the award-winning and acclaimed BBC Radio 4 programme The Now Show.
What the press say
"The kings of satirical comedy"
THE GUARDIAN
"Their closing routine, involving a drunk man and a map (oh, and satire), was unbelievably funny. This is a real class act”
