Anyone who has spent any amount of time on social media is almost certain to have run into Flo & Joan’s dry, sometimes vulgar comedy songs taking over the internet.
Whether you agree or not on the message they’re selling, it’s easy to see how quickly they are on the ball with topical news, most recently having notably written songs about anti-vaxxers and yearly round-ups during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Flo & Joan have taken the world by storm with their musical skits, and they’re touring the UK with a North East stop at Gala Durham on Thursday 19th May and Tyne Theatre in Newcastle on Thursday 26th May.
Made up of Rosie and Nicola Dempsey, these sisters are a multi-award winning pair who take their stage name as a loving nod to their grandma and her sister, as well as being the 2018 face of Nationwide.
‘Sweet Release’ is their biggest national tour to date after huge appearances at events such as Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal as well as multiple other sell-out tours.
Viewers can expect to hear a huge spectrum of topics, from fringes to alien-lovers, and are guaranteed to hear some of the catchiest songs to make you giggle even after the whole thing is over.
The pair have been featured on many popular TV shows including ‘Jonathan Ross’ Comedy Club’, BBC’s ‘Live at the Apollo’, ‘The Russell Howard Hour’ and ITV’s prestigious ‘The Royal Variety Performance’, with their online presence also amassing over 50 million views for their songs
Flo & Joan are critically acclaimed and have won three incredible awards for Best Musical Act at Leicester Comedy Festival, the Audience Choice Award at Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival in 2017, and the Chortle Awards’ Best Music & Variety Act in 2018 who described them as “the harmonies of Frankie Valli with the sensibilities of Frankie Boyle”.
Keep Thursday 19th and 26th May free in your diaries for what is bound to be an incredibly entertaining night of music and hilarity at Gala Durham and Tyne Theatre Newcastle.
It would be sensible to get your tickets as soon as humanly possible for this show as it will certainly be a popular one.
Tickets, priced from £16.00 in advance, are available from floandjoan.com.
