Here are a few nice words from Carmel Shortall at Camden Fringe Voyeur, regarding Glyn and David's latest stand-up show:

REVIEW: Doggett and Ephgrave Project Stuff

By Carmel Shortall

It’s all there in the title of the show: Glyn Doggett and David Ephgrave do indeed project stuff as part of their stand-up act. The ‘stuff’ has been found all over the place but mostly on the internet and the duo have an eye for the bizarre, the sinister and the downright ridiculous.

It’s like being treated to a crazed relative’s holiday snaps except this relative displays an unhealthy interest in beards and goes to Great Yarmouth for his holidays.

Beard Board, a forum for people so boring that their beards are the most interesting thing about themselves, is a truly terrifying look into the heart of banality. Then there is the guy with his own YouTube channel dedicated to the gentle ‘art’ of manualism or hand-farting.

Sinister song lyrics, photographs of the exhibits in the worst wax museum in the world, a giant Zippy costume and the question, why is Andy Murray’s mouth so square, all form part of this likeable and engaging pair’s routine. We were warned at the beginning that there are 309 slides and told to “strap in” but who’s counting?

Doggett and Ephgrave can pop up with or without their projector and it is worth searching them out.

Hitchin's finest (or only) comedy double act, Doggett and Ephgrave, present their first new stand-up show in two years at the Etcetera Theatre in London this August, as part of this year's Camden Fringe Festival.

The self-professed 'small-town comedy duo' - whose previous credits include eight seasons with The Comedy Project (Soho Theatre), the collection of filmed sketches 'Doggett & Ephgrave's Comedy Shorts', their two previous stand-up shows 'Big in Small Places' (Meadow Bar, Edinburgh) and 'Comedy Job Lot' (Camden Head and Etcetera Theatre, London), the comedy play 'The Balloon Debate' (Gilded Balloon, Edinburgh) plus four years hosting and running their Hitchin-and-Edinburgh-based comedy club, Mostly Comedy - make their third appearance on the Camden Fringe this summer.

In 'Doggett & Ephgrave Project Stuff', Glyn and David push their oft-neglected third member (their projector) to the forefront, for an hour of slideshow-based stand-up. God forbid they have a power-cut.

Tickets are £7.50, and are available from the Box Office on 020 7482 4857, or via www.camdenfringe.com.

Next month, Doggett & Ephgrave's popular comedy & music club 'goes all posh, like', with a one-off gala performance at the Queen Mother Theatre on the 26th.

Celebrate the 69th Mostly Comedy with an all-star line-up, including:

An extended set from the cult comic legend, PHIL KAY
(As seen on BBC1's 'QI' and BBC3's 'Russell Howard's Good News')
'You have to be born with comic talent such as his. It's a gift from the gods; a freewheeling mind that's utterly without boundary' ***** (Metro)
'One of the greatest comedic odysseys ever witnessed. Hysterical in every sense of the word - Kay truly is a mesmorising headf**k genius' ***** (Time Out)

Plus a welcome return appearance from the 82-year-old regular of BBC Radio 2's 'Steve Wright in the Afternoon', BARRY FROM WATFORD.
'An endearing, enduring creation' (Chortle)
'Poignant and very funny' (Evening Standard)
'A comedic genius whose talent is impossible to explain or describe' (Radio Times)

Doors 7.30pm, first act on stage at 8.00pm. FULL LINE-UP TBA.

Tickets are £8.00, and are available below, or by phoning the QMT Box Office on 01462 455 166.

Doggett & Ephgrave are set to celebrate reaching the 69th Mostly Comedy in style this month, by hosting two different events at two different venues; the second of which is a gala special at the Queen Mother Theatre on the 26th of July, featuring an all-star line-up - but prior to that, the duo return to The Croft on 19th July to present a pair of Edinburgh previews from DAVID TRENT and TRODD EN BRATT.

'DAVID TRENT - SPONTANEOUS COMEDIAN'.
David Trent has a computer and a projector, which he uses to make phenomenal comedy.

This is his Edinburgh debut. It will blow your mind. He wrote this himself.

'His use of video, animation and repetition is brilliant and unique ... genuine originality' (Chortle.co.uk).
A creator of bold, category-defying comedy’ (Stage).
'Progressive, playful and painfully funny. I'd happily watch him for two hours on his own' (Latest 7).
'His performances are intense, fearless and original' (LondonIsFunny.com).

'TRODD EN BRATT: WELL DONE YOU'.
Ruth Bratt and Lucy Trodd deviate from Showstoppers to present their debut character sketch show.

'Deliciously dark and very funny' (Rob Brydon).
'Blissfully comic' (WhatsOnStage.com).
'Clever comic mind'(Independent).

Next week, the self-professed 'small-town comic duo' are set to preview their first new stand-up show in two years, at the Market Theatre in Hitchin - prior to a four-night run at the Etcetera Theatre as part of this summer's Camden Fringe Festival in August.

In 'Doggett & Ephgrave Project Stuff', Glyn and David push their oft-neglected third member (their projector) to the forefront, for an hour of slideshow-based stand-up. God forbid they have a power-cut.

'Blisteringly funny and highly original' (List).
'An undeniable and wickedly original talent' (Fest).
'Blissfully whimsical' (TimeOut).
'Deliciously daft and no slouch in the surprises department' (Evening Standard).

Hope, fear, love, ambition, innocence, wisdom and cleaning out the fridge. Fifty minutes about the stuff life is made of.

'Charming intelligent wit that always evokes laughs' **** (Three Weeks). 'Wickedly insightful and instantly likeable' (Fest).
'Cute, lovely, friendly, charming, adorable and sweet, thankfully Goodliffe is also funny.' (Hairline.org.uk).

As well as hosting this month's Mostly with Henning Wehn, you can also catch Messrs. Doggett & Ephgrave on the bill at two cracking London comedy nights over the next few weeks:

Laugh Out London at The Camden Head on Friday 4 May(Info HERE) and McNeil & Pamphilon's Sketch Night at The Wilmington Arms on Tuesday 22 May (Info and tickets HERE).

Don't say we didn't warn you...

This May, Doggett & Ephgrave join forces with BBC Radio 4's Ben Tinniswood to present a brand new production of Vincent Cassar's award-winning play, 'What's the Time, Mr Wolf?'; a darkly comic one-hander, which is being performed for three nights at the Market Theatre in Hitchin, prior to a week-long run as part of this year's Brighton Fringe Festival.

The play centres around Conrad Kordover; an odd man with strange habits, who lives on his own in a small bedsit. He is a Pagan, and an eccentric - whose unconventional behaviour and beliefs have drawn attention from both his community and the local authorities.

When a brutal murder is committed, it isn't long before the police come knocking. But with little substantial evidence to go by, is this simply a case of needing to find a scapegoat?

'What's the Time, Mr Wolf?' was originally performed in 2001 at the Alma Tavern Theatre, Bristol, after winning Theatre West's 'Search for a Script' competition that same year. It was exceptionally well-received, also going on to win a Bristol Evening Post Theatre Award.

The revival is performed by BBC Radio 4's Ben Tinniswood. ('deft comic touches' - Fringe Report) and directed by local actor Glen Davies (BBC1's 'Bear Behaving Badly').

'What's the Time, Mr Wolf?' runs from 13-15 May at the Market Theatre, Hitchin. Tickets are £10.00 / £8.50 concessions, and are available either by calling the Box Office on 01462 433553, or via www.markettheatre.co.uk.

Its Brighton run then takes place from the 23-27 May at Laughing Horse @ The Temple, Brighton at 4.30pm. For more information, click here

Before they decamp to Scotland for this year's Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Doggett & Ephgrave will host a special gala performance of their popular comedy and music club, Mostly Comedy, at the Queen Mother Theatre in Hitchin on Thursday 28th July at 8.00pm.

The locally-based comic duo will celebrate the 42nd instalment of the club with an all-star line-up – including a special extended appearance from 82-year-old Lifestyle Guru of BBC Radio 2's 'Steve Wright in the Afternoon', BARRY FROM WATFORD.

BARRY was created by Alex Lowe; a successful comic actor who has appeared in countless popular series, including Channel 4's 'Phoenix Nights' and BBC2's 'Saxondale' and 'The Thick of It'. Since his bi-weekly appearances with Steve Wright, BARRY has gained a staunch radio following, eliciting name-checks in the media from such unlikely sources as Tom Hanks and Ringo Starr.

Also headlining is controversial cult YouTube sensation, **** AND THE GANG; a hugely popular underground musical comic whose last two singles managed to chart at number 66 and number 63, despite no mainstream press or radio coverage - and who was recently described by Guardian columnist and comedian Charlie Brooker as 'life-affirmingly puerile stuff'.

Other acts appearing include the 'BBC Talent New Pick of the Fringe' JAY FOREMAN, Hackney Empire 2011 New Act Finalist DAVID TRENT and the Mostly Comedy favourite, NISH KUMAR.

Tickets are £8, and are available in advance from the Queen Mother Theatre Box Office on 01462 455166, via their website at www.queenmothertheatre.org.uk – or from the Hitchin Festival Box Office on 01462 453336.

The showing takes place at the Queen Mother Theatre Studio on Friday 22nd July at 9.00pm. Tickets are £5 and are available from the QMT Box Office on 01462 455166, via the Hitchin Festival Box Office on 01462 453336, or via www.queenmothertheatre.org​.uk.

Doggett & Ephgrave are set to celebrate passing the 40th Mostly Comedy in style this month, by hosting two different events at two different venues; the second of which is a gala special at the Queen Mother Theatre on the 28th of July, featuring an all-star line-up – but prior to that, the locally-based comic duo will return to their usual venue of The Croft on 21st July to present a pair of Edinburgh previews from two of the comedy club's most popular acts: 'JOSH WIDDICOMBE: IF THIS SHOW SAVES ONE LIFE...' and 'PAUL HARRY ALLEN: STUFF AND NONSENSE'.

Since his first gig in January 2008, JOSH WIDDICOMBE has made a remarkable impact on the comedy circuit. In just three years he has been named FHM Stand Up Hero 2010 (beating 273 other comics to take the title), Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year 2010 and received a nomination for Chortle's Best Breakthrough Act of 2011. He is also steadily building his profile in the media, having appeared on Channel 4's '8 out of 10 Cats', BBC Radio 4's 'Loose Ends' and BBC Radio 5live's 'Fighting Talk', amongst others – as well as writing for Michael McIntyre and 'Mock The Week'.

PAUL HARRY ALLEN is also a very popular comic, who has led a very varied career since joining the circuit in 2003; particular highlights include sharing the bill with music legends Bob Dylan, Ray Davies and Van Morrison, as well as being a finalist in the Hackney Empire New Act competition. His 2010 Edinburgh show also proved very popular with the critics, garnering four stars from Time Out, as well as earning him comparison to the comics Rob Brydon and Russell Howard.

The gig takes place on the 21st July at The Croft in Hitchin. Doors open at 8.15pm, with the first act taking the stage at 9.00pm. Tickets are £5.00, and are available both on the door or to book in advance, click here.

The venue may be changing, but the club will still stay the same; pulling in the same top acts from the comedy scene at an exceptionally cheap rate. Stay tuned for more details.

Parts two and three of Glyn and David's Edinburgh video diary are now up on YouTube; so should you fancy an intimate insight into their Edinburgh adventures (not in a sexy way), click HERE.

Just to let you know you can now catch the first instalment of David and Glyn's fly-on-the-wall Edinburgh video diary on YouTube. To watch it, click here.

Tonight saw the final instalment of D & E's Edinburgh run of Mostly Comedy - and what a cracker it was to end on. Many thanks to all of the acts who came along to the Counting House Ballroom to strut their funky - and don't forget, you can still catch David and Glyn's stand-up show, which runs at the Meadow Bar until the 29th August at 6.30pm.

Just over half-way through their Edinburgh Festival run, and Glyn and David have received a nice little review from the industry-standard comedy website, Chortle. Here's what they said (review by Cara Sandys);

"Many performers would have been daunted if faced with an audience of four. Not Doggett and Ephgrave, they performed with such confidence and enthusiasm that I wished they'd been playing to a packed room.

With loads of material trawled from obscure websites projected behind them, this was an entertaining hour. A top 10 of hilarious true life magazine headlines provided plenty of laughs, along with an letter one of them discovered when they moved into a new house… which turned out to be a piece of gay porn. A Dutch phrase book also provided plenty of comic material – although making two of the audience read the translation in Dutch is probably only funny for anyone who actually came from the Netherlands.

Some of the content had a too much coverage. While the Japanese Wings tribute band were amusingly awful, dwelling on it wasn't going to make it any funnier. Conversely, the skilful interpretation of how to make shadow animals could've gone on longer, such was its comic value.

Beautiful singing and ukulele playing added more variety to an already entertaining show, and these charming performers deserve a better venue than one wedged between the stairs, the pub kitchen and the toilets".

Bright and early this morning Glyn and David moseyed on over to Pleasance Ghillie Dhu, for a mass-photo shoot of many of the uke players featured at this year's Edinburgh Festival (during which, Glyn prayed that no-one would clock the fact that he's actually only a beginner).

For a glimpse of the picture (which featured in The Scotsman), click here; N.B. Glyn is standing somewhere behind David (not in a gay way).

Here are a few nice words from Three Weeks, regarding Doggett & Ephgrave's Edinburgh run of 'Big in Small Places'; selective quoting? US?:

"a good comedy double act: they're bright, clean-cut, have a sparky chemistry with a good line when it comes to gentle self-deprecation".

STOP PRESS: It has just been announced that, as well as taking their stand-up show 'Big in Small Places' to this year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Glyn and David will also be running an Edinburgh version of their thriving comedy and music club, Mostly Comedy.

The Scottish version of Mostly will run at Laughing Horse @ The Counting House every night from 5th-14th August at 11.15pm - and promises to feature a mix of acts who've graced the stage at the Hitchin club, along with a lot of new faces.

Line-ups will be announced daily - both at www.mostlycomedy.co.uk, as well as via Doggett and Ephgrave's Twitter feed and Facebook groups. In the meantime, you can find a little more information HERE.

Doggett and Ephgrave celebrate the 21st installment of Mostly Comedy by presenting an Edinburgh Fringe Special - featuring two hour-long Edinburgh previews from the Mostly Comedy favourites, Nick Helm and Paul Harry Allen.

Audiences will be treated to some fantastic new work from two tip-top stand-ups - and all for a wallet-pleasing four quid.

'NICK HELM: KEEP HOLD OF THE GOLD': Comedian Nick Helm will make you appreciate what you have, whether you want to or not. Featuring poetry, music and stand-up.

See below for some nice words about Doggett and Ephgrave's Comedy Job Lot, taken from the Camden Fringe Voyeur:

Doggett & Ephgrave: Comedy Job Lot
Chris Lean

Despite sounding like a firm of chartered accountants, Doggett and Ephgrave demonstrated ample ability to tickle the funny bone with their show ‘Comedy Job Lot’ at the Camden Head.

The duo already run a successful comedy night in Hertfordshire and this is their first solo venture on the Camden Fringe. It’s pretty much impossible to sum up their act in a simple sentence – I guess that’s why they call it a ‘job lot’. The upside is that it’s fast-moving and allows for plenty of funny ideas; the downside is that it makes it hard to pin down what kind of act they are. But they offer a snappy mix of gags, sketches and songs, including a particularly funny skit revolving around using Star Trek actor’s names as sexual euphemisms, a ukulele number and a careful dissection of the worst (or best) of ‘real life’ mag headlines.

It’s a quirky set that hits the mark most of the time, despite an occasional over-reliance on showing us things that they found funny rather their own gags. But they’ve got a keen eye for the absurd and they’re both polished, natural comedians who act and feel comfortable on stage despite performing in a very difficult time slot. This voyeur for one enjoyed their gig a lot, and might take up shadow puppetry as a result.

For six nights only, Doggett and Ephgrave will be bringing their first entirely solo show to the Camden Fringe – and giving audiences a tantalising insight into their slightly skewed take on the world. The title of this hour-long exploration into their psyche is Comedy Job Lot; a grab bag of songs, sketches and stand-up from the up-and-coming comedy double act.

Audiences will be treated to a whistle-stop tour through the everyday minutiae of Glyn and David's lives; everything from Star Trek to shadow puppetry, Capri Sun to kissing cousins and Gordon Brown to Gary Glitter.

Tickets: £7.50
Start time: 5.45pm

With the Edinburgh Festival speeding toward its conclusion, Glyn and David are 'mixing things up' with a cast change for the last four nights of their run.

From tonight through to the 25th, Chris Hollis will be taking over from Calogero Tumminello in the role of the hapless pilot Brent Cross - so should you fancy seeing a slightly different take on the character, then get booking!

Some of the nice things said about Doggett and Ephgrave during their Edinburgh run (more to follow):

'This trio have hit on a great set-up for cringe comedy'. - FEST

'Doggett and Ephgrave really put their hearts into it. They deliver a fun, laugh out loud warming drama – fun for all the family who don't mind a bit of vulgar language' – EDFRINGE.TV

'Humorously quirky' – THREE WEEKS

'Doggett and Ephgrave share an endearing dynamic.' - FEST

Do not be alarmed -  the above statement is not an admission of any kinky 'man-on-man' goings on between the comedy duo...

Doggett and Ephgrave ventured over to the Belly Dancer at the Underbelly last night for a last-minute inclusion on the bill of the popular late-night sketch and stand-up show 'Spank!'. They were pulled in with literally minutes to spare when another act dropped out a short notice.

A sold-out crowd were treated to an impromptu performance from Troy Matthews and Portakabin - as well as a quick rendition of 'The Ukulele Song' (featuring Glyn in a grass skirt...and very little else).

The gig was filmed by Myspace for their new comedy page; any clips will be put up on www.doggettandephgrave.co.uk as soon as they surface.

"What could be more romantic that a hot air balloon ride, 2000 feet above beautiful countryside, complete with heart-shaped sandwiches and an engagement ring? A lot of things. Being stuck in the hot air balloon (acquired from a con artist) not with your spouse to be, but your cranky best mate and a pilot suffering the aftermath of a dodgy Indian, is not one of them.
It seems that in the confines of a hot air balloon basket, thousands of feet above ground, is where your worst fears come to be realised and panic sets in. Who knew? With much paranoia, consoling, whinging and medical confessions, Doggett and Ephgrave make great use of the space (being limited to the small basket space) and really put their hearts into it. They deliver a fun, laugh out loud warming drama, fun for all the family who don't mind a bit of vulgar language.
A hot air balloon ride; apparently one of the top 50 things to do before you die… And if you do embark upon this journey, remember, objects falling from a great height can kill a person".

With the month-long festival run of “The Balloon Debate” looming ever nearer, Mr Doggett and Mr Ephgrave thought it  wise to visit Edinburgh for a two day recce to suss out what else needs to be done (not to mention what needs to be added to their ever-growing credit card balance). Whilst there they visited the venue, their digs and even found time to do a spot of sightseeing (PLEASE NOTE: No haggis was eaten during this trip).
