Parsons
& Naylor
Parsons & Naylor met at
Cambridge University where they ran the Cambridge Footlights. Subsequently, they began the
new sketch revolution in London by starting TBA - London’s first sketch club - which
ran for three years to full houses. From there they became principal writers on the satire
show ‘Spitting Image’ - a time when they took the ratings back up from a low of
4.4 million to 7.7 million
Their writing and performing
credits on TV and Radio are numerous and on the live circuit, they’re one of the
Edinburgh Festival’s most successful acts, having sold out for five consecutive
festivals. In the last year, their unique brand of cerebral chaos has brought them rave
reviews at the Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide Comedy Festivals.
"Phenomenally Funny,
Parsons & Naylor are pure wicked unadulterated talent" - The Guardian.
"Absolutely silly,
Parsons & Naylor really hit the funny bone. Laugh yourself sick" - Sydney Morning
Herald.
