Good friends on and off stage, audiences can expect them to serve up an evening of no holds barred anecdotes, banter, and laughs. Breakneck Comedy's founder, Naz Hussain said: 'Anyone who's seen these guys in panto will know they have an amazing chemistry and a great sense of humour, and with major roles in two of Scotland's best-loved TV shows – among other things – they have loads of great stories to share. 'I'm delighted that they've chosen to do their show with us, and I can't wait to hear the tales they'll be sharing.' Breakneck Comedy is renowned for bringing top comedians and performers to towns and venues that might not be on the usual tour schedule. 'I love bringing big names to towns that some promoters might overlook' says Naz. 'It's really exciting to be able to put on shows all over Scotland and make it easier for people to be able to enjoy a great night of comedy and entertainment without them having to worry about catching a train home from the city.'
