That’s all there, don’t worry…just in case you were…ĭo you think being siblings with a lower case c have a competitive comedy advantage? We’ve still kept the madness of our usual style with clowning, songs, semi organized choreography and some mid to high range level acting. It’s the first time we’ve made something set inside a sort of fake / sort of real world which we hope everyone will be able to recognise and laugh at. Then they started extending to characters you see in iconic films, like the American coach who always does inspirational speeches, or big breasted headmistresses who scare the living daylights out of you, the list goes on. We also took inspiration from people we thought everyone could relate to or remember in some way. Lots of them are inspired by our childhoods and what we experienced when we were younger. Once the world was established, the characters just started building more and more. We realized that a lot of the characters we were creating could all be set inside a magical, weird, timeless, horrifying school.
We have ended up making the new show a bit different to our usual style this year which we are VERY excited to present to everyone. It changed a lot over the last 2 years and we have really been able to hone in on what ‘Siblings’ really is and what we want from our shows. We started writing our new show back in 2019 which is when we thought we would be heading to the Fringe. Tell me about the inspiration behind the show? It’s very surreal that we are now all one week away from performing again at the Edinburgh Fringe! House Party….remember that? Luckily all the comedians we know were such a brilliant support network, everyone had a bit of a strange time not knowing what was going to happen to live comedy. Some real gems came out of the internet at that time. We both collapsed to the floor in hysterics and struggled to keep it together while carnage unfolded on the screen. The rise and fall of zoom gigs will always remain a funny memory, one time a thousand hackers broke into a very innocent, calm comedy gig we were in. Looking back, there were some real comedy moments in there though. Maddy considered working at a zoo and Marina thought it best to stare at a wall for 2 years. The government did tell us to ‘retrain’ so we did spit fire some ideas…. Some interesting things happened, Maddy was dumped and our cat died so that was a barrel of laughs to be stuck together indoors for! (they eye roll whilst Maddy goes a bit red)Ĭovid also cancelled live comedy which makes sense for the time but it meant the adrenaline and the pressure died a little bit which is what we kind of thrive off. There were moments of humour and horror all mixed into every minute of it, which we imagine would have been similar to most peoples experiences.
