3 More To See sketch duos

Looks like the 3–4pm slot has got very busy with comedy pairings this month.

EGG seem positive night owls with their 4.50pm starting time compared to these worm-catching early birds. After a successful debut year which resulted in an Amused Moose award, Grubby Little Mitts (Assembly George Square Studios, 2–28 August, 3.50pm) are back with Hello, Hi, a piece (of broken pieces) about employment, friendship and love. Fret not, it will be funnier than that sounds. This Fringe, Shelf (Voodoo Rooms, 5–27 August, 3.25pm) have both a kids’ and a grown-up show; the latter here is Teenage Men, so titled as they used to be mistaken for teenage boys. By extension, they may well now be mistaken for teenage men.

Two not-teenage men comprise Bishops (Gilded Balloon Patter Hoose, 2–27 August, 3.40pm) who claim that ‘what they lack in divinity they make up for with sensational sketches’. They probably don’t refer to themselves in the third person, this is just what their official Fringe blurb says.
