A little less
conversation, a little more action.
This explosive duo have
become one of the most talked about live comedy acts of the last few
years. After returning from the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2002,
where they debuted their full length show to sell-out audiences and
critical acclaim, they were invited to perform at THE ROYAL VARIETY
SHOW broadcast on BBC1. “(Men in Coats) proved to be one of the
evening’s biggest successes” THE STAGE
Since then they have
starred in the BBC’s weekly Saturday night show “THE LIVE FLOOR SHOW”,
performed at the MELBOURNE COMEDY FESTIVAL, filmed a pilot for
BBC, done 2 full-scale tours of the UK, toured in Greece, Portugal,
France, Germany and Barbados and returned to Edinburgh where they were
one of the highest grossing shows of the Fringe.
What the press say:
“A
sheer delight… nigh on perfect”
THE
INDEPENDENT
“They
redefine your expectations of what can be accomplished on a stage… the
closing applause was thunderous.”
TELEGRAPH
“Just the kind of original, inventive, fun-packed performance that every
Fringe show should be… Men in Coats are going to be
huge.”
EVENING NEWS
“Intoxicating breath of fresh
air”
THE HERALD
“Breathtakingly imaginative… an overnight
sensation”
METRO
“Hilariously simple… Men in Coats are the talk of the
Fringe”
THE
GUARDIAN
“Watching this show was the happiest hour I spent up in Edinburgh… fully
deserving of a West End transfer”
THE SPECTATOR
“Very
funny… the most exciting visual comedy act… unstoppable”
MALCOLM HAY, TIME OUT
“Mesmeric… head and shoulders above the rest”
WILLIAM COOK, GUARDIAN
“Funnier than 90% of the shows currently running in the West End. If
there’s any justice in the world, Men in Coats will have their own
television show within a year”
EVENING STANDARD
Absurd and delirious, as
funny as it is clever, there are no easy predictable routes to comedy
for these boys. This is a totally original comedy experience and one of
the funniest shows around.
