"BEST SKETCH GROUP OF 2009" Tim Arthur, Time Out

Following their first extensive UK tour and subsequent West End run, Ben, James, Andrew and Elliott are back once more in their comedy home ‘ The Pleasance, London' to consolidate their place at the forefront of the new wave of contemporary sketch comedy shows.

Edinburgh Comedy Award 2009 nominees and 2010 Chortle Award Winners, Idiots of Ants, returned to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe this year with their fourth brand new full-length show - The Red Button. It received great reviews and was a TOTAL-SELL-OUT.

THEIR TIGHTEST, GLOSSIEST SHOW YET...THE IMAGINATION, EASY CHEMISTRY AND ALL-ROUND COMIC BRIO ON OFFER HERE MAKE THEm LoOK LIKE THE SMARTEST SKETCH-SHOW IN TOWN. -Telegraph 2010 on The Red Button

Discover what the actors are really thinking as they perform that critically acclaimed Shakespeare play, learn the secret behind the Mafia's pearly white smiles and unearth the origins of the song ‘Two World Wars And One World Cup, Do Dar Do Dar'. There's even a sketch performed in German! (Don't worry, there will be subtitles).

Why not also have a sing along with the Idiots' alter egos? You can simply throw them in the washing machine if they get too dirty.

But be warned - you may leave this show with a few extra points on your driving license.

THIS IS THE FOURTH FRINGE FOR ELLIOT TINEY, Ben Wilson, JAMES WRIGHTON AND ANDREW SPIERS AS THE IDIOTS OF ANTS AND THEY JUST KEEP GETTING BETTER AND MORE AMBITIOUS. IT IS HARD TO SEE HOW THEY COULD POSSIBLY TOP THIS YEAR'S SHOW. - Chortle 2010 on The Red Button

Idiots of Ants are Andrew Spiers, James Wrighton, Elliott Tiney and Benjamin Wilson. Since forming in 2007 they have gone on to completely sell-out three Edinburgh shows and a London season as well as performing at Comedy Clubs and festivals across the UK.

Sketches made by Idiots of Ants in collaboration with BBC Comedy online and those filmed for their E4 Funny Cut pilot have attracted a staggeringly large Internet following. Their ‘Facebook in real life' and ‘Wii Breakfast' sketches have become two of the most viewed comedy sketches of all time on YouTube.

Idiots of Ants sketches have been shown around the world on TV shows including The Today Show in the US and ChannelPlus in France and The Independent declared them to be one of the top five sketch groups in the UK. They were invited to appear at The Montreal Just for Laughs Comedy Festival 2009 where they performed in the HBO British Gala alongside Jimmy Carr, Ross Noble and John Cleese who they also interviewed for YouTube.
