The Hollow Men is a sketch show written and performed by David Armand, Rupert Russell, Sam Spedding and Nick Tanner, featuring a plethora of deranged, deluded and desperate characters.
There’s Christophe, the French tutor whose innocent role-playing exercises frequently feature a character not dissimilar to his unfaithful wife…
The boss and secretary whose flirtatious, innuendo-laden office banter is so full of double meaning, its often hard for even them to understand…
Professor Cavendish, whose attempts to explain the finer details of genetic research to his belligerent lab assistant Keith usually end in failure, frustration, or an industrial accident…
Stuart and James, two old school friends who now find themselves working together for a charity. Except they weren’t really friends, because Stuart used to be a bully. But that’s all behind them now, and James certainly isn’t going to abuse his position as Stuart’s boss to exact some kind of petty revenge, oh no…
Answerphone technician Ron, a man constantly thwarted by his own technology in his attempts to contact his customers…
…and many more.
The Hollow Men also stars Katy Brand (Katy Brand's Big Ass Show, TittyBangBang, Peep Show).
The Hollow Men have performed sell-out live shows in Edinburgh, London and New York, at the 2003 Aspen Comedy Festival and at the 2005 Just for Laughs festival in Montreal. In 2005 their first television series, The Hollow Men, was broadcast in the US on Comedy Central.
In the UK, the group’s members have written for or appeared in shows such as Peep Show, Swinging, My Family, Absolutely Fabulous, Beast, Dead Ringers and Pulling. |
