A cinematic double feature from two Fringe favourites.

Chris Thorburn delivers a 'Superbly comedic look at cinema with a personal touch' (TheWeeReview.com) in a comedy show all about movies.

Richard Brown brings horror in all its form in this 'multimedia show full of Jordan Peele worthy twists and turns' (British Comedy Guide)

Chris Thorburn: Cineman
Winner of the Funny Fringe Award, RVK Fringe 2023.
British Comedy Guide Recommended Show, Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2023.

'There's not a comedy style Thorburn isn't adept at' (Comedy.co.uk).

'He's going to go far' (NPR.org).

As seen/heard on BBC's The Now Show, Breaking The News and Scot Squad.

Richard Brown: Horror Show
British Comedy Guide Recommended Show, Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2022

'The territory where you feel 'I shouldn't be laughing at this, but i am' can be dangerous to play in, comedically, but it's where Richard lives.' (Scotsman)

'Brown is a breed that's increasingly rare in mainstream circles of comedy: a genuine left-wing perspective that imbues grim gags with humanism and empathy. [...] for the lucky few that share his misanthropic mindset, this is a comedy goldmine.' (List)

As seen/heard on BBC Scotland and BBC Sounds
