Full press release
"Hair ruffling and bottom patting, there'll be a lot of that... and there'll be no training. I'll be encouraging my players to smoke and drink on the pitch." Comics captain, Rob Rouse
The Comics: Aidan Bishop, Alex Horne, Ben Clark (Pappy's), Davey See, Des Bishop, Doc Brown, Eric Lampert, Henry Parker, Ivo Graham, Jarlath Regan, Joel Dommett, Johnny Sweet, Ben Wilson (Idiots of Ants), James Wrighton (Idiots of Ants), Keith Farnam, Lee Kern, Rob Rouse (Captain), Simon Munnery, Simon Brodkin, Tom Parry, Tiffany Stevenson, Tiernan Douieb.
"The comedians begrudge us the honest public service we provide, by telling people not to see their shows. And we rage against them for being, err, funnier and more famous than we are. Talk about scores to settle? Now it's payback time." The Guardian's Brian Logan
The Critics: Brian Logan, Tim Arthur, Edd McCracken, Phil Miller, Julian Hall, Roger Cox, Jay Richardson, Evan Beswick, Lyle Brennan, Ed Ballard - and more to come...
