Adam Drake (Writer/Performer) graduated from Cambridge Footlights in 2012. He has been a regular face at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe since 2009 both as a Performer, Writer and Director. He created, directed and co-wrote the critically acclaimed sell-out two-woman sketch show BEARD in 2012 and with Gein’s Family Giftshop he and Ben run Suspiciously Cheap Comedy in London, which frequently hosts acts like Tim Key, Mark Watson, Daniel Kitson and Tape Face. He has appeared in Drunk History (Comedy Central) and a BBC3 short with The Pin and will shortly be seen in Bounty Hunters (Sky1).
Ben Rowse (Writer/Director) graduated from Cambridge in 2012. He wrote sketches and monologues with Cambridge Footlights and his first full-length play Pilot sold out Corpus Playrooms and scored a host of five star reviews. His one-man show No One Man, No Cry sold out the Pleasance Theatre in London and was again well received. He and Adam are currently co-writing a new improvised comedy Capital, created by Bad Education creator Freddy Syborn, alongside Liam Williams and Charlotte Ritchie.
In 2013 Adam and Ben joined forces to co-write a one-man farce, Robin, in which Adam also performed under Ben’s direction. The show garnered a host of four and five star reviews and they went on to form Goose in 2014 on which they were co-writers with Adam once again performing under Ben’s direction. The show was a huge success and confirmed Goose as one of the leading lights in the new generation of Comedy protagonists. Last year’s show, Hydroberserker, was one of the best reviewed shows at the Fringe and has since run at the Soho Theatre.
They have just filmed a gameshow pilot based on their live shows with So Television and have a film in development with Hoot Productions.
