Matt and Ian really don't know what is going to happen. Spinning wheels of ideas, audience suggestions and a mix of randomness means no show is the same. Ian has a hamster called Molly, a dog named Squirt and five goldfish. Matt doesn't own any animals. Next year they hope to use up their word count with lots of nice reviews from nice people. They may just mention pets again though if this year goes pear-shaped.

Report thisComedy genius.
This comedy duo deliver a fast paced hilarious show. I spent the whole night doubled over with tears of laughter streaming down my face. A completely different show every night. You get out of it what you put in. This is a great way to end any day. Go and see this show.

Finally got to see the dynamic duo which I have been liaising with on Twitter and Facebook, and I am so glad I went to see them. Had a really good laugh, they were really funny, taking in all the audience suggestions. Highly recommend you go see them for some rib-cracking laughter. Best of luck with the rest of your run in Edinburgh! =)

Report thisBrilliant show
The most enjoyable show I've seen at the Fringe. They are both so quick and it's so fresh and interesting compared with the tired stand up comedy format.
Report thisA improvisingly fun evening :-)
Can't recommend this pair highly enough. Great fun from start till finish, incorporating every suggestion from the audience. The Wheel of Improv is a great prop (Oooooh!) and there are some fab scenes which develop from the game titles on there. I think one of my favourite scenes was the Gibberish translator, though I have to be honest and say there weren't any disappointing ones. Matt and Ian go into each scenario with huge enthusiam and do not fail to make the audience laugh.
Only wish my time up at the Fringe hadn't now come to an end as this pair deserve to be seen multiple times. All I need to do now is stop trying to come up with alphabet conversations myself lol ![]()

Really great show, excellent scenes across the board. You can tell Matt and Ian just love doing it too, and that warmth and enthusiasm was reciprocated by an appreciative audience. Catch them while you can!
Report thisA jolly good time!
The name says what it does on the tin, Matt and Ian really don't know. Audience members give out suggestions and they improvise scenes around these. These two are genuinely funny, and also warm and welcoming. If you're looking for a show that will leave your night on high then come see these guys, they made me laugh so hard that my sides hurt and it was lovely way to round off the evening!

Silly, funny, light hearted, this loveable duo will have you chuckling along in no time as they react with wit and sharpness to a variety of odd audience suggestions. A very pleasant and refreshing surprise. New Choice!
