Pappy's Fun Club

Pappy's Fun Club is a comedy team made up of Ben, Brendan, Matthew and Tom. Through a string of live appearances across London, they began to build a small cult following and so, in 2006, the team took an hour of Fun to Edinburgh.

The last year has been brilliant for Pappy's. They performed in comedy venues across the UK; were heard on Radio 4's 28 Acts in 28 Minutes; were nominated as Chortle's Best Newcomer; begun work on their own self titled pilot for Radio 4; and, at the Edinburgh Festival with their second full-length show, received a string of fantastic reviews and a nomination for the If.Comedy Award (formerly the Perrier) for Best Show. Since then Pappy's have recorded their own TV show for Channel 4, their own radio show for Radio 4, and appeared as part of Comedy Shuffle on BBC3 and Comedy Cuts on ITV2.

Expect historical characters, mythical creatures and the eternal battle between good and evil. Will Pappy's Fun Club save the day? If you consider identifying the problem and then singing about it to be saving the day, then yes.
