Loveable idiots, Alex Owen and Ben Ashenden - aka The Pin – present their weird twist on the double-act sketch show. From 2015.

Join Alex and Ben in their weird twist on the double-act sketch show.

Strap in for a 15 minute delve in to a world of oddness performed in front of a live studio audience.

The Pin are an award-winning comedy duo, and legends of Edinburgh festival. They deconstruct the sketch form, in a show that exists somewhere between razor-sharp smartness and utterly joyous silliness.

After a sold-out run in Edinburgh, and a string of hilarious performances across 91Èȱ¬ Radio 4 Extra, 91Èȱ¬ 3, Channel 4, and Comedy Central, this is The Pin's debut solo show.

For fans of Adam and Joe, Vic and Bob, and Fist of Fun - a show of absurd offerings from two loveable idiots.

Producer: Sam Bryant.

First broadcast in Radio 4 in October 2015.
