The Edinburgh Festival Fringe is the greatest arts festival in the world. Plenty for all to see! So why Sheeps? "Excellently silly ... great deal of promise" (Scotsman). "Smart gags ... winning delivery ... very intriguing prospect" (Chortle).

New Edinburgh act of the day: Sheeps

This trio of Footlights graduates have the personality, sketches and style to prosper, once they stop following the herd...

More details

Hotly tipped new sketch group Sheeps bring their first full show to the Edinburgh Fringe, following a series of regular sell-out London shows at the Etcetera Theatre and Pleasance Islington.

Sheeps: A Sketch Show brings together a selection of sketches, skits, characters and songs including a medley of showtunes from Sheeps' original musical adaptation of Oliver Twist, shrewdly observed and abstract sketches and at least five minutes of material that's been cut from the show.

Sheeps are Liam Williams (Runner-up - So You Think You're Funny? and Amused Moose 2010, "Great voice, smart gags" - Chortle), Daran Johnson (Old Vic 24 hour plays writer 2010, Harry Porter Playwriting Prizewinner 2009) and Alastair Roberts (Cambridge Footlights President 2008-2009, "terrific" - The Scotsman).

Sheeps writing, directing and performance credits include The South Bank Show - Cambridge Footlights (ITV 1, 2009) Wishful Thinking (Footlights, Pleasance 2009), ...And Bosnich is off his Line, (PBH Free Fringe, 2009), The Hotel (Ed Fringe 2009, dir. Mark Watson), Good For You (Footlights International Tour Show, Pleasance 2010), The Lunchtime Club (Five Pound Fringe 2010), Newsrevue (Canal Cafe Theatre 2011), Great Big Sketch Off (Pleasance Islington 2011), Newsjack (BBC Radio 7) and The Bill Heine Show (BBC Radio Oxford).
