1. Tell us about your career so far. Are you happy with where you're at?

We set foot on the comedy ladder in 2013. But then we found out the ladder is more like a sort of horizontal ladder - like monkeybars. I guess what we're trying to say is we're happy, but need to work on our meta-phors and similes like there is tomorrow.

2. Describe your show in exactly 23 words.

It's (just using our old friend Mr Apostrophe there to sneak in an extra word: helpful in a pressured question like this) good.

3. Why are you putting yourself through this famously stressful experience?

We wouldn't call this interview 'stressful'. And 'famously' is just blowing your own trumpet. To be honest, these questions aren't too bad. Had to count to 23, which was fine to be honest. It's the Fringe that's really the fly in our ointment right now.

4. Any cunning plans to get more punters in?

We took our cue from Lee Nelson's recent hilarious antics and have come up with the mother of all pranks. We're pranking our audiences by spending a year, alone in secret, trying our best to write a show that's better than last year's.

5. How much money do you think you'll lose/make this year?

You know how gamblers call £25 a 'pony'? Well, we reckon we'll lose a 'kidney'.

6. What's your weirdest past Fringe experience?

Being asked back.

7. What other shows are you hoping to see?

Gein's Family Giftshop, The Pin, Natasia Demetriou and Ellie White, Daphne, BEARD, Phil Wang, Lolly, Joseph Morpurgo, Emma Sidi, David Elms, Liam Williams, Max and Ivan, Luke McQueen. If you watch enough shows it's harder to be done for plagiarism.

8. If you took over programming a venue, what would you perfect line-up of comedians be?

We'd take advantage of the fact that we're a double act and we'd each book our favourite comedians for the same venue. Then we'd each claim we had a contract with the venue and that the other one had no right. We'd inspire lots of funny and interesting articles about contract law in Scotland, and we'd ignore all easy solutions to the problem. Haha!

9. Name the one person you'd rather not bump into during the festival.

Probably our careers adviser. We'd hate to see his disappointed face. He suggested we do stand-up, not sketch.

10. Why should audiences pick your show over the 1,700+ other comedy offerings at this year's festival?

It's a bit misleading to suggest we're one of 1,700 comedy shows. We're on at 3:20pm, so it's more like one of 300. And if you're reading this interview, you've got weird tastes, so it's, like, one in 100. And if you've made it this far you're our dad. So we're one of 1. Please come, dad.
