Comedy duo O’Shea and O’Gaukroger will be in Bridport for one night only next month at The Lyric Theatre with their collection of alter egos to entertain and enjoy.

Among the vast list of characters on hand is Wolfgang, an American jazz poet with a penchant for vegetables, an over-zealous pair of recruiters, and Trevor, a man who fails to understand the necessity of trousers in public places.

Marina O’Shea and Tessa (O’)Gaukroger are two actor comedians, who are already making great strides in the world of comedy, and tour regularly up and down the country. Marina collared Tess into the comedy world, having seen her play a far too convincing man in a stage play.

She bestowed a comic ‘O’ on the bewildered Tess and from there the two have been making laughs like there is no going back.

The quick paced sketch show, with a little bit of audience interaction, is all part of their new show ‘We’re Dead Serious’.

The pair are currently storming their way around the UK fresh from two previous national tours in 2013.

Tickets are priced at £9 single or £40 for a group of five, and are available from the Bridport Arts Centre on 01308 424204 or bridport-arts.com.
