Kurt Braunohler - review

These lively tales of mortifying inadequacy are skilfully delivered by the dorky US comic.

Interview: Kristen Schaal and Kurt Braunohler (Link expired)

You could cut the sexual tension between Kristen Schaal and Kurt Braunohler with a knife, finds Jay Richardson. But these comedy partners are only playing it for laughs.

Jay Richardson, Edinburgh Festivals, 16th August 2011

Fake pigeons dangling from wires, an alcoholic bird and a woman who can talk to animals. These are the surreal ingredients of the return of C4's Comedy Lab pilots tonight. Coincidentally, there's also a talking dog you could describe as a comedy lab - as in Labrador.

If you're a fan of BBC4's Flight Of The Conchords you'll recognise US comedian Kristen Schaal, who stars as Penelope and wrote this with her pal and co-star Kurt Braunohler.

The Mighty Boosh's Julian Barratt plays an MP who Penelope has just 3,762 days to assassinate. It's funny, charming and daffy but will it make a series?

Interview with Kristen and Kurt

Hilarious, energetic and refreshingly surreal. Meet award-winning double-act Kristen Schaal and Kurt Braunohler.
