2019 Edinburgh Fringe
Children Of The Quorn™
Former stars of the multi award-winning Durham Revue, 'comedy geniuses' (Jeremy Vine), and future Fringe legends Andrew and Ambika present a new sketch show, complete with séance. From dying onstage to straight-up dying, this is how two friends fill their time whilst waiting for the dead to arrive. From winners of the Derek Award for Best Sketch Show at the Edinburgh Fringe 2016 and 2017, Children of the Quorn™ is an hour of intelligent, original, high-energy comedy that will raise the roof and raise the dead. 'Gonna be huge unless they get real jobs' (Stevie Martin).

"This year is our first time going up as a duo/Megan from HR. which we're really excited about though of course, it's equally terrifying because we're almost starting from scratch."
Edinburgh49, 9th August 2019Fringe 2019 - Children of the Quorn
Comedy sketch show with Andrew Shires and Ambika Mod performing a series of diverse comedy sketches as part of an overarching comedy/horror narrative. As they attempt to conduct a séance, their subversive and absurd sketches build to a climatic twist.

"It was our experiences doing comedy at uni which allowed us to perform in professional theatres nationally and at the EdFringe every year that ingrained comedy so tightly into the fabric of our lives. Now if we don't have funny, we have literally nothing."
