Who:
Felicity Fitz-Frisky and Hansel Amadeus Mannish are the creations of Laura Corcoran and Matthew Floyd Jones.
What:
We’ve been titting around with pop songs since 2008.
Where:
We’ve hoofed all over London, from Shepherd's Bush Empire to the West End's Lyric Theatre, via KOKO, The Forum, Soho Theatre, Battersea Arts Centre, Southbank Centre's Udderbelly Festival and the London Wonderground...
And all over the UK, too many times to count, including Glastonbury, Latitude, Bestival, T in the Park, and eight Edinburgh Fringes...
And all over the world, from Sydney (Opera House and Mardi Gras) to Melbourne (Comedy Festival), Adelaide (Cabaret and Fringe Festivals) to Perth (Fringe World), alongside visits to New York and New Zealand, Germany and Switzerland, Singapore and Hong Kong...
And all over radio (BBC Radio 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Live and 6 Music) and television (BBC2 and 3) and on YouTube and iTunes and Spotify…
And anywhere that will have us.

Why:
“Our style of comedy is way older than us. John Gay was doing it in The Beggar’s Opera in 1728 when he lampooned popular tunes of the day for a dribbling mass of unwashed peasants (to make no inference about our own lovely audiences...)
We’re not looking to reinvent the wheel here. We just try to make a really good wheel.”
