One of my earliest memories is sitting on my grandfather's lap watching Morecambe and Wise on one of his VHS tapes and quickly his favourite comedians became my favourite comedians, and they still are to this day.

Jonty Stephens and Ian Ashpital as Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise respectively, are able to bring back the magic of the double act which makes for a night of nostalgia and hilarious comedy.
