Press clippings
Part one of four of Punk'd-style pranking starring the one-time chart toppers as its victims. Antony Costa, Simon Webbe, Lee Ryan and Duncan James are charged with turning around the fortunes of a beachfront bar in San Antonio, Ibiza, but little do they know that everyone around them is on a mission to rile them, from bar staff to the PR person (Richard Bond of sketch group Clever Peter). Will they All Rise (cough) to the challenge or will they wish they had let the opportunity, erm, Fly By?
Hannah J Davies, The Guardian, 6th January 2015Clever Peter is a sketch troupe featuring Richard Bond, Edward Eales-White and William Hartley, and by the sounds of things a rather good one.
It's a short programme, consisting of four episodes 15 minutes long, but the sketches in it were entertaining and rather appropriately, clever. Sketches featured an MP who claimed expenses on a pygmy hippo and is then ordered as punishment to kill the Danish ambassador (who actually has a Dutch accent); a diary written in gobbledegook; a man obsessed with lists leaving his girlfriend; and an old woman who has an enterprising way of dealing with door-to-door salesmen.
The humour in it is slightly surreal, but it's very good, while the performances were energetic. It certainly sounds like Strap In - It's Clever Peter could build into a more successful programme.
