Joke Boys is a split bill of stand-up, by two comedians who have almost nothing in common but were united by the powerful force of convenience.
The poster brief was to reflect the work of two stand ups doing the best with what they've got, but slightly missing the mark in a stupid way:
There's a lo-fi element to it, with a simple black and white image of the acts, with a needless divide in the image to give the impression they're desperate to be seen as separate. There's purposeful misspellings in the border of "Jone Boys". There's a use of quotes about their acts displayed sideways which would be almost useful in selling the show if it wasn't illegible unless lying down. There's a map on the back, which helpfully displays the show's location as well as where England is.
Together, the design gets across the comedian's sense of playfulness, stupidity and differences.
