A dynamic comedy duo.

No, not that Will Smith, this is the much funnier British stand up comic & writer. Star of Channel 4’s 11 O’Clock Show and writer to Angus Deayton, Paul Merton and Jasper Carrott, he’ll be giving us his comic persona Posh Boy.

Utterly original and rather disturbing, Will is disarmingly convincing as a boorish but socially incompetent toff and he swiftly stole the show

(The nicest man in show biz… a cross between Stephen Fry and Willie Rushton)
The Scotsman on Will Smith


Sandy Nelson is probably best recognised as being one of the few actors in Braveheart having his own hair and permitted to speak in his native accent. He also played Rab C Nesbitt’s younger brother Tug and performed Auld Lang Syne with Belle & Sebastian. In Swedish. Live, he mixes razor sharp stand up comedy with a healthy dollop of musical fun as seen in his hit Festival show Bedroom Popstar. For more information on Sandy, pop by his own website and take a good laugh at the pictures of him as a child.

And remember, the Traverse isn't responsible for the content of other websites, so take care out there.

A sure fire gag-fest of material. Natural charm and superb audience awareness
