The comedy scene is one much dominated by men, but O’Shea & O’Gaukroger, comprising Marina O’Shea and Tessa O’Gaukroger, are a young, female duo based in Exeter and conquering the world of comedy.

With one successful national tour under their belts already they are now in full swing of their latest tour 'What will we do when we grow up - A Comedy of Careers' and are due to appear at Exeter Phoenix on Saturday 2nd February.

O’Shea & O’Gaukroger are dazzling entertainment and laugh out loud funny. With even more dates and venues booked for this tour than last year's ‘Out Of Season’ these girls are back with a vengeance. Vivaciously vanquishing the world of comedy, O’Shea & O’Gaukroger are guaranteed to keep you laughing long after leaving the auditorium.

Creating, writing and producing their own characters, sketches and film shorts these girls are real, raw talent and guaranteed to have your sides splitting and your eyes crying.

Their first comedy film short “Two birds, one pint”, filmed with Cineon productions, recently aired at the London Short Film Festival. It went down a storm, the audience loved it and they received gleaming reviews.

Their second comedy film short “Gone Fishin’” has been entered into Flatpack Festival in Birmingham, Reed Festival and Sundance. Recently put on the books of Mirth Control Comedy and having been compared to “French and Saunders” O’Shea & O’Gaukroger are going from strength to strength.

It’s an exciting time for the girls, not to mention how fantastic it is to have such talent coming out of Devon, their future looks set to get bigger and better. Side-splittingly funny, these girls are not the flavour of the month, but the feast of the century.
