Join Edinburgh Comedy Award Nominee (Mock the Week and Russell Howard's Good News) for a brand new hour of hilarious anecdotes and observations. 'Gripping, unmissable stand-up' (Guardian).

Middle-aged women: an endangered species. Who says we're too old for careers, sex, a social life? Through sketches, song and dance, we share what it means to be thirty plus... Oh, all right 30XL in 2013.

This twisted musical comedy duo bring their hilariously questionable taste to Edinburgh. Their infectious songs and irreverent sketches will delight the most impure minds. 'A naughty match made in comedy heaven' **** (Time Out).
