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.

'PAUL HARRY ALLEN: THE LOST LETTERS OF CATHY G': Whilst in a junk shop, comedian Paul Harry Allen stumbled across a wad of forgotten letters. Mixing stand-up with storytelling, Paul will blow the dust off these tales of lovestruck boyfriends and hopeful groupies.

Doors open at 8.15pm, with the first act onstage at 9.00pm. Tickets are £4 - and are available in advance by clicking here.

As well as celebrating the twentieth installment of Mostly Comedy (see below), D & E will also be popping into town for a couple of gigs this month.

First off, you can catch them on the bill at Test Tube Comedy on Monday 14th June at the Canal Cafe Theatre - where they'll be appearing alongside Daniel Simonsen, Raph Shirley, Catriona Knox and headliner Ivan Brackenbury; the gig kicks off 7.15pm, with admission at £8 on the door, or two for £12 if you book in advance.

Then they'll be moseying on down to the Camden Comedy Bolt-Hole (above The Black Heart in Camden) on Tuesday 22nd - for a fab line-up alongside Nish Kumar, Dig For Victory and Joe Wilkinson; the gig kicks off at 7.30pm, with admission £7 Full, £5 Conc.

Tickets are now onsale for the June's Mostly Comedy, which takes place upstairs at the George in Hitchin on Thursday 17th June 2010 - and, as a special treat, to celebrate the twentieth gig, we have an hour in the company of Mostly Comedy favourite, James Acaster.

Other acts appearing include David Trent, Tim Rivett and Spandex Ballet.

Doors open at 8.15pm, with the first act onstage at 9.00pm. Tickets are £4 - and are available in advance by clicking here.

May is set to be a busy month for Doggett & Ephgrave - taking in, amongst other things, a run on the Brighton Fringe and the nineteenth Mostly Comedy (see below).

Should neither of those be your 'cup of tea', you can also catch the duo in London, at the 'Bow Quarter Comedy Sessions' on the 10th, and at the Leicester Square Theatre on the 31st, as part of the line-up on 'Rule of Three and Friends'.

So, what's your excuse? Get down to one of their gigs and CHECK. THEM. OUT. (Capital letters and punctuation used for emphasis).

This May, Hitchin's finest (or only) duo will bring their latest stand-up show to the Brighton Fringe Festival for five performances only – acting as a nice little warm-up to their run in Edinburgh in August.

Audiences will be treated to a fifty minute whistle-stop tour of Doggett & Ephgrave's psyche; a world of Star Trek, shadow puppetry, kissing cousins and Kriss Akabusi.

The show runs from 12th-16th May 2010 at Laughing Horse @ The Temple; admission is free, with the performances starting at 3pm. For more information, click here.

Tickets are now onsale for the nineteenth Mostly Comedy - which takes place upstairs at the George in Hitchin on Thursday 20th May 2010.

As ever, we've got a fab line-up for you - including stand-up from Kieran Boyd and Mark Cooper-Jones (two thirds of the fantastic WitTank), character comedy from Mostly Comedy favourites Max and Iván, magic from Dan Rogerson - plus music from our lawyer-dodging house-band, Spandex Ballet. All this, plus Doggett & Ephgrave - and all for only £4!

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".

Even though this was their first gig in six years, BDO were still very nearly upstaged by a surprise appearance from the experimental pop duo Portakabin (see the homepage, for photographic evidence).

See below for a handful of pictures from the night - video clips to follow shortly.

Another day, another Doggett and Ephgrave fundraising event; it has just been announced that Buddy Holly and the Cricketers will be playing a special D & E 'benefit gig' at the Market Theatre, Hitchin, on Monday 30th of June 2008. 

The show will feature David (of Doggett and Ephgrave) as Buddy Holly…and Glyn (of Doggett and Ephgrave) flashing the lights a bit and making the tea.

You’ve seen them in “The Buddy Tapes”, now watch them in the flesh – while helping Doggett and Ephgrave in the bargain! For more details (and to book tickets) click here.

Yes, the unthinkable is about to happen! Popular Hitchin-based band from 'the days of yore' - and one-time bedmates of Slade, The Troggs, Kula Shaker and The Supernaturals – are reuniting to play their first gig in six years, all in aid of the Doggett and Ephgrave Edinburgh Festival Fund.

The gig will be taking place at Club 85, Hitchin on Thursday 24th of July – with doors opening at 7.45pm and the first band on at 8.15pm. Support will come from My Pet Junkie and The Otters...with a little bit of Doggett and Ephgrave thrown into the bargain.

So come along and watch Dave, Mark and Chris as they struggle to remember who played what...and how all the songs even went in the first place.

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).

For more pictures of their Edinburgh adventure, see below. Video clips to follow shortly.
