In Skittish, the comedians deliver a collection of varied sketches, touching on everything from absurd situations like a milkman at a funeral to more abstract humour, such as a fake Fringe show of a man eating crisps in the dark. Their sketches are complemented by jaunty musical numbers, including A Very Irish Song, poking fun at international stereotypes in a light-hearted way.
Foil Arms and Hog are also famed for their crowd interaction. Audience members become part of the show, with improvised moments adding an unpredictable flair. One of their signature acts involves taking audience members’ stories and weaving them into spontaneous skits. This approach has endeared the trio to audiences of all ages, establishing them as a safe and family-friendly comedy option that’s still sharp and engaging.
Since launching their YouTube channel, they’ve amassed nearly one million followers, but here’s your chance to see them in their element, live.
