Join this up-and-coming comedy duo for an hour of riotous laughs, whacky characters, quick-fire sketches and some groovy tunes.

 

Who do you trust in a moment of crisis? The relevant emergency services or a couple of newly certified, haphazard and rather chaotic busybodies? The second one. Obviously. They have whistles.

 

Armed with a high-vis vest, half a tinfoil blanket and an unwavering air of authority, these Designated Fire Wardens promise to take you on a slightly mad journey filled with absurd characters, surreal musical interludes and plenty of gleeful comedy. Seriously, this is not a drill.

 

Straight from Soho Theatre’s Character Comedy Lab and off the back of sold-out performances in London, Durham, Leeds and Bristol, this is an unmissable debut hour of sketches from the ‘ridiculously talented’ (EdFringe Review) duo, Alannah and Phoenix, named by Chortle as ‘one to watch’.

 

Winner of Best Sketch Show at Edinburgh Fringe 2025 (Derek Awards).
