Edinburgh Fringe

Fringe stalwart Arthur Smith and actor Phil Nice resurrect their 1980s double act Fiasco Job Job for a touching play that weaves Arthur's legendarily laconic gags through the story of their relationship. Utilising some of the material they used to do on the circuit, there was great affection from the audience, and huge laughs even at the most groan-worthy gags. It builds into a truly touching celebration of what it means to be a double act.

Legendary double act Fiasco Job Job, Arthur Smith and Phil Nice, having surprisingly beaten the visitation of the grim reaper, reunite for one final time to celebrate their 40th anniversary. Two old men on a bench reflect on religion, politics, life and happy slapping, but it transpires there is more to their relationship than we realise. Hilarious sit-down drama about age, showbiz and the cartography of friendship. 'There are fringe legends and then there is Arthur Smith' (Bruce Dessau, Evening Standard). '... all-time favourite double act Fiasco Job Job' (Harry Hill, Fight!).
