The Ornate Johnsons

Gulbenkian Theatre, Canterbury

“Jerry Sadowitz calls them the best sketch group since Python. Frankly, who are we to argue?” Sarah Dempster, The Guardian

The hugely talented five-strong sketch troupe presents an evening of their unique brand of sketches and songs at the Gulbenkian Theatre. Their show features excerpts from their two-week sell-out residency at London’s renowned Soho Theatre and Brighton Festival award-winning show.

Their style of comedy commonly likened to that of Not The Nine O’Clock News, The Two Ronnies and Monty Python has earned the group much critical acclaim and an industry favourite reputation: along with several BBC Radio projects in the pipeline, earlier this year their specially-written Edwardian themed sketch show The Ornate Johnsons’ Edwardian Spectacular was recorded and televised on BBC4.
