Everything you wanted to know about the world’s only 4 man sketch group (other 4 man sketch group are available).

ANDY

EYES – Shifty

HAT SIZE – Extra large.

AMBITION – Buffet for one. Big spoon.

FACT – Once, at a party, Andy was mistaken for Henry VIII.

FAVOURITE QUOTE - ‘I haven’t lost any weight, but I’m still alive. So… all round, I’m pretty proud of myself’

Elliott on Andy - I remember knowing that I would like Andy before I even met him. I was in the communal kitchen at a theatre in West London and Andy walked in to make himself a cup of tea. He took a small polystyrene cup and dunked three tea bags in it. He turned to us, said ‘Quicker innit!’ and downed it in one. Legend.

JIM

HOBBIES – None. Not interested.

AGE – Unknown.

ORIGIN – Jim is a quarter Victorian.

FACT – Carries a briefcase but only keeps a banana in it.

STUPID FACT – Jim once worked in Sainsbury’s for three weeks unpaid. The reasons are too complex to write here.

EMBARRASING FACT – Jimmy has a very sensitive gag reflex. Sometimes we can waste hours and hours creating smells, bearing things and regurgitating things in order to make Jim ‘gip’.

Ben on Jimmy – Jimmy loves cleaning. He cleans everything. He has a cleaner and when she comes round, he cleans her.

ELLIOTT

FACT – Using three condoms and a plastic bag, he once made a wet suit for a cat.

STUPID BUT TRUE – For a long time Elliott thought that Jimmy Hendrix was a snooker player.

Jimmy On Elliott -  Elliott had a gambling addiction for a long time. He and his friend Chris would play a game called ‘darts’. The rules were as follows. First Elliott and Chris would play a game of paper/scissor/stones. The winner of paper/scissor/stones was the winner of ‘darts’. And the winner of ‘darts’ got to throw a dart into the loser’s back.

BEN

HEIGHT – Ben stands tall!

STATUS – Ben is your leader!

FACT 2 – Ben bloody loves pork products. One day while we were on tour Ben’s lunch consisted of a sausage roll, a pork-and-stuffing sandwich, some pork pie, a Pepperami and a bag of crisps (bacon frazzles).

Andy on Ben -  Ben has two sets of clothes. One for summer, one for winter. If it’s sunny and cold he gets confused and stays in.

Ben on Ben - Ben is remarkable.
