"AN ASTONISHING HIT RATE...STILETTO SHARP...EVERYTHING IS EXECUTED WITH VERVE...NOT SICK, DARK OR FASHIONABLY TWISTED, JUST VERY, VERY FUNNY...LAUGH? I EVEN PUT MY PEN DOWN TO APPLAUD"
Evening Standard
After a critically acclaimed sell-out Edinburgh Festival Fringe debut in 2007, Idiots of Ants present their second brand new full-length show. During the brief time since they formed, this slick foursome have quickly become renowned with their rapidly increasing fan-base for their uniquely off-kilter take on the world around them. "MARVELLOUS. GRAB YOUR CHANCE TO SEE THEM BEFORE THEY LEAVE THE CIRCUIT FOR TV LAND"
Time Out
Visit the alternative world of Idiots of Ants. You may soon be applying for citizenship...
Why does no one ever talk about the hamsters on Animal Farm?
Is yoghurt really a good cure for a broken neck?
Will Pride And Prejudice - Full Throttle ever make it into the cinemas of Britain?
Should Connery, Lazenby, Moore and Brosnan let Craig into Bond club?
All this interspersed with a glimpse of the true spirit of stand-up and a smattering of nudity - what more could you want from a perfect hour of ground-breaking new comedy?
"SHEER EXCELLENCE"
Scotland on Sunday
The Idiots are Benjamin Wilson, James Wrighton, Elliott Tiney and Andrew Spiers. They formed in 2007 and, after a sell-out Edinburgh Festival debut, they have gone on to perform at festivals and gigs all over the UK.
Their unique blend of fast-paced sketch comedy has invigorated the genre ('Sketch comedy is officially back' The London Paper) and they've attracted a large following across the UK's media.

The Ants TV work was piloted as part of BBC3's The Wall, they have been interviewed and performed on Fox News and they have recently completed their own show for E4. They have also made a short film for Friends of The Earth with Tomboy Films and have performed on BBC Radio 4's Loose Ends.
Their most recent success has been their Facebook sketch Facebook in real life which has become an 'internet phenomenon' (BBC Online) and a 'viral smash hit' (Independent Online) with over a million views and counting.
