Fenby and Padstow: A Class Apart (WIP)
  • Great Yorkshire Fringe

When a balding, chubby, pie-eating northerner and a lithe, posh, child-faced nerd form a comedy duo; the north-south divide gets a little funnier. Fresh from the rich, rolling green hills of the south quadrant of his parent's mansion, Fenby's wealth is often exaggerated by his writing partner. Meanwhile, from the dreary, grey, decrepitude of a generic northern town, Padstow brings a cheery optimism to Fenby's overly long, mahogany dining table. The result is a hilariously hazardous mixture of poetry, stand up, sketches and silliness!

You are invited to listen and laugh along as we tackle everything from our follicularly challenged faces and heads, via a Dr Suess-inspired exploration of a hangover and the Jurassic Park franchise (A Scouting for Girls Parody). There's something for everyone in this fast-paced, quirky comedy compilation. North Vs South. Rich Vs Poor-ly executed sign offs. This comedy duo really are 'a class apart'.

"one of the stand out acts of the evening, bringing youthful charisma with their wit and energy" - Cup of Beans Comedy

"[Padstow's] willingness to transform himself into any type of character for laughs is highly impressive. While Fenby shines out most brightly in the acting department" - (Praise for 'Thespianage' from Edfringereview)

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
