Joz Norris and John-Luke Roberts bring their smash-hit viral character creations (one of the videos got over 100 likes!) to the stage! Barry and Tony are neighbours, or maybe flatmates, or possibly brothers or lovers, and they like to sing songs because they have very similar vocal ranges (baritones). However, their speaking voices are very high! That’s the joke. The other joke is that they do pranks on each other. Come and enjoy! We’re as surprised as everyone else at how successful these shows are.
