Barney Fishwick and Will Hislop are an award-winning writer-performer comedy duo from London. 

They have written and performed three sell-out Edinburgh Fringe shows, which received widespread critical acclaim:

 

"Wry, subtle... you can detect the low-key wit of Flight of The Conchords... but Lars and Ulrik's likeable cheesiness, easy chemistry and Nordic Roots put them far closer to Armstrong and Miller's Strijka" - Chortle

"Silly and strangely touching" - The Guardian

"Nothing short of genius" - The Telegraph

 

Their live show was also featured as part of Channel 4’s alternative comedy showcase, ‘The Paddock’. 

They have written for various BBC radio shows including ‘The Now Show’, ‘Newsjack’ and ‘DMs Are Open’. They have also written their own one-off BBC Radio comedies, ‘BBC Radio Fjörd’ and ‘Godsquad’, which was nominated for a BBC Audio Drama Award for Best Comedy.

Online, they have amassed millions of views for their online comedy sketches and were nominated for a Writer’s Guild Award for 'Best Online Comedy'.

They also have been optioned to developed various TV shows for companies like Babycow, Fulwell, Wildcard and Blink. They have written on Deborah Frances White’s new animated feature film Bad Fairies with Locksmith Animation and are currently developing their own first feature film with Babycow.
