Cardinal Burns present Dean and Murf review

For those in the know, there are lots of in-joke pop-culture references along the way, from Lou Diamond Phillips to a Snow Patrol spoof, but the adventure is entertaining and enjoyable on its own terms, while being probably the most interesting and distinctive of this season's pilots.

Latitude 2016: Cardinal Burns and guests review

Sketch based comedy is a dying breed on television, but still an ever popular form on the cabaret scene. The one group that has breached beyond the fringe and into the nation's consciousness over the past couple of years is Cardinal Burns, the brainchild of Seb Cardinal and Dustin Demri-Burns.

Review: Cardinal Burns/Tony Law

Cardinal Burns are an incredible force on stage, wielding their talent for acting and characterisation alongside well-scripted lazy human interaction. Focusing on hypocrisy, power struggles and the complexities of male relationships and sexuality, it's simple sketch comedy at its best.

For all his manic sketches and borderline certifiable characters, Dustin Demri-Burns, one half of award-winning comedy duo Cardinal Burns, takes a serious approach to his craft.

Cardinal Burns - The Lowry, Salford

The translation for any sketch show from TV to stage can be tricky to achieve successfully. On their TV series, Cardinal & Burns make great use of costumes and locations. The stage version doesn't entirely do away with props (a jacket here, a wig there) and as a result the show is able to move along at a really good pace. The audience are left with no doubt, thanks to good writing and performances, that Cardinal Burns' appeal is not a case of style over substance.

"Well, it's a mixture of our favourite characters from the TV show, characters and sketches from our previous Edinburgh shows, and then newer ones that we've been doing on the circuit this year," explains Dustin.
