You have a tiny penis. I have a tiny penis. Come and see our tiny penises. 'They had tiny penises' (Sporty Spice, 1997). A girl who looks like Barbara Streisand and a boy whose eyes are like oysters have organised a surreal and hilarious comedy show for the Edinburgh Fringe. You should definitely come and stare at it. Sponsored by Alan the DJ (Not available for Bah Mitzvahs) All proceeds will go towards Berwick-upon-Tweed's Ladies Working Men's Club. (No, they won't).

I have a tiny penis. You have a tiny Penis. Come and see our tiny Penis's.

A girl who looks like Barbara Streisand and a boy whose eyes are like oysters have organised a surreal and hilarious comedy show for the Fringe. You should definitely come and stare at it. Sponsored by Alan the DJ (Not available for Bah Mitzvahs).

His Eyes were like Oysters combines a variety of strange and surreal characters, awkward silences and ordinary people in bizarre situations. Pastiches of the musical Chicago sit alongside a vomit inducing interview, a doctor with a shoehorn for a hand and everybody's favourite children's TV character; Piss Pig. Whilst these situations unfurl, Alan the DJ combats his phobia of June Sarpong and two hapless hosts try to keep everyone happy (with a 63% success rate).

Oyster Eyes are a collective of four comic performers who left their families and centrally heated homes to create innovative, irreverent and ironic work that makes people laugh. After meeting at Bretton Hall (where The League of Gentlemen started disturbing people) they are bringing their comedy debut to the Edinburgh fringe. Think Birds of a Feather, 2.4 Children, and Goodnight Sweetheart and then forget about them... Forever.

Between them, the performers of Oyster Eyes have separately devised various shows including; Alone Time, Help Yourself, and Eat Me which have toured throughout the UK at various venues and Festivals including; BAC, Arts Depot's Untapped Festival, Manchester's Greenroom, The Etcetera Theatre as part of Camden Fringe, The Space's Enterprise Festival, Southwark Playhouse, Oxford Playhouse and others.

Phoebe won 2009's Method Lab commission for new theatre from Manchester's Greenroom. Well done her. Liam is the regular compere at 'That Time of the Month Comedy Club' in Newport Pagnell where he has shared a stage with many of Edinburgh's favourite comics including Marcel Lucont, Kent Valentine, Andi Osho and Sarah Millican.

As a collective Oyster Eyes offer something a bit different and would love to share the joy.
