Tic Tacs
They appeared in a series of idents and adverts in 2008 and 2009 for this product which sponsored My Name Is Earl on Channel 4 and E4 and which infamously interrupted an FA Cup match between Liverpool and Everton at a highly critical moment. The Daily Express called it, "the lowest moment in ITV's history".
Edinburgh Fringe
Between 2002 and 2004 they performed three sell-out runs at the Edinburgh
Fringe Festival at the Pleasance, Underbelly & Gilded Balloon venues
gaining widespread praise from punters and critics alike. They were
called "Brilliantly
stupid" The Scotsman and "One of the funniest acts
of the Fringe" The Stage.
They went on to write sketches, jokes and scripts for national radio,
winning commissions to write for, amongst others, Richard Herring and
Parsons & Naylor.
