Two thirds of the Dreadfuls, Humphrey & David, are performing as Dmitri and Vassily in the next edition of Sketchatron on Friday night, at the Pleasance in Islington. Dmitri is Russian, and Vassily of course, Georgian, and they want to make TV. If you haven’t seen Dmitri & Vassily yet, it is just a wonderful treat, and if you have seen it before then well, it’s different every time, so come again!
Also on Sketchatron are super pals Will & Greg who are amazing and just had their show air on Channel 4 – The Amazing Will & Greg, plus Irish buddies Dead Cat Bounce, and the always wondrous Tommy and the Weeks.
It’s Friday, 7th November, doors at 7.30pm, show at 8pm. The Pleasance booking line is 020 7609 1800 and you can book online on Ticketweb. More information can be found here on the Facebook event.
“More Brothers Faversham” has kicked off amongst much excitment. Listen to the series every Sunday night on BBC7 or catch it on BBC’s wonderful iPlayer.
Not enough for you? Hmmmm? Here’s a bonus DVD extra treat. In it’s full animated glory, The Seance, a deleted scene from the series.
Ladies and Gentlemen, after our month-long siege up in Edinburgh, we are finally back & rested in our mighty England for some Faver-frolics down here.

The jokes in Aeneas Faversham Forever come thick and fast, and there’s no time to catch a breath between guffaws as the trio bound from one example of perfect comic character acting to another. With Hambledon remarking that his new secretary ‘looks much younger than her lithograph’ and his wife popping out to buy a six-pack of bonnets and some racist cartoons, you would need to have had your funny bone surgically removed not to howl at its brilliant sillyness.
A wonderfully twisted take on Victorian literature, Aeneas Faversham Forever is a complete and utter triumph.
