Hello fans!

The Hardest Working Sketch Troupe in Showbusiness is just about ready to head up to Edinburgh for our FOURTH consecutive year! Tickets are already selling fast so don't delay, get yours today! You can get them direct from the Fringe Box Office or from our venue, The Pleasance. What are you waiting for? A string of glowing plaudits? Here you go...

This is what people have already said about our brand new show, Pappy's Fun Club's World Record Attempt: 200 Sketches in an Hour

You know you’ve seen a good show when your face is hurting less than five minutes in…
The Londonist

Horne and Corden’s BBC3 show was a disaster, Mitchell and Webb get by on one laugh an hour, while Little Britain USA was every bit as bad as Little Britain UK. Only Pappy’s Fun Club can save the genre now.
The Guardian

…stunning. Just properly, gasping-for-breath funny…
Dave Gorman

"
An explosive, high-energy mix of sketch show and comic play"
The Sunday Times


The show was also nominated for Best Show at the Brighton Fringe- and that was before it was even finished!

200 sketches. 60 minutes. 1 World Record. Heroic attempt, or spectacular folly? "the funniest sketch troupe on the Fringe" (Scotsman, Aug 08) return to take Edinburgh, and the record books, by storm.

"impossible to resist ... you really should see this" Metro, Aug 08
"Turbo-charged ... great jokes" Guardian, Aug 08

See you up there,

Love from Pappy's Fun Club

Hey everyone,

A few fun bit and bobs first...

Sally, a member of our facebook group, has sent us this link to a picture of some models of us that she has made out of card. If you click here you can print off the plans to make your own. Thanks Sally!


Our very own Tom is playing Jim in the adverts before and after hit E4 show, Skins. You can see him in action here.

Finally, some would say most importantly, we begin our tour in London on February 2nd and 3rd at the Battersea Arts Centre. Tickets are available here.

Your favourite sketch team are on tour in 2009. We'll be doing a massive show that combines all of our favourite sketches with almost all of our hit Edinburgh show, Funergy. It'll also feature some brand new, never-before-seen material!


The Guardian has already described the show as "turbo-charged" with "great jokes" and "an effective combination of intelligence and idiocy" and that's without all the extra bonus stuff we're sticking in for the tour.

All the dates are below (with place names in capitals so you can see when we're nearest to your hometown) and all the venues and booking details can be found on this website. So what are you waiting for? Book today!
