Owen & Tom met as kids in the 90s, hiding under the stairs at a birthday party from a boy who smelled like celery – and they have been creating silly things together ever since.
With Tom’s background as a commercials and music video director and Owen’s as a West End sound and video engineer, their powers combine to create high energy, hilarious and vibrant tech-fuelled mayhem and a unique on-stage double act based on their 30 years of friendship:
“Tom is the gregarious, ebullient host with an unaffected cheeriness and a pocket full of running gags as he bounds into the audience.” – Chortle 2018
“Backing him on jingles and sound effects, with his cameras mischievously roaming the audience, is second banana Owen Visser, considerably more than just the laptop guy.” – Scotsman 2019
When they’re not channelling all of that into their own shows they’ve often been snapped up to write and develop formats for Netflix, Amazon and most recently a surprise viral quiz show for the Manchester City football team.
Their award winning live show ‘The Mr. Thing show’ has toured festivals and theatres with enormous critical acclaim:
“A comedic riot” – The Telegraph
“I was howling with laughter” – The Metro
“A hilarious comedy show” – The Mirror
“Slick tech and silly jokes in this chaotic, utterly compelling show” – Fringe Review
“Something special and simply brilliant” – Starburst Magazine
“A lovable laugh engine” – The Student
“Chaotic, endearing and clever nonsense.” – Folded Zine
★★★★ “This anarchic, multimedia show has cult in its genes.” – Chortle
★★★★★ “A constant joy to watch from beginning to end” – Radio Ha-Ha
★★★★★ “silly and simple comedy; and that’s what the world needs.” – Young Perspective
