Two brothers stand smiling at the camera with arms wide open, wearing white tailcoat suits with top hats and canes in front of a spotlight-lit red curtain. One brother wears a green waistcoat and bowtie, while the other's is pink.

The year is 1925.

The world is born anew in the aftermath of the Great War, the "Jazz Age" is in full swing, and two brothers do a silly sketch comedy show.

Button up your glad rags and feast your peepers on this petting pantry! It's the only sketch comedy show set entirely in the year 1925!

The Burton Brothers return with their fourth original sketch comedy show - now in Technicolor! With sound to boot!

With big band jazz numbers, golden age Hollywood tropes and the stopgap between World Wars - it's a decade rich in material ready to be parodied and portrayed in the modern medium of sketch comedy.

The old meets the new as the Brothers take their unique sketch comedy style and play it to the tune of the roaring 20s!

Best comedy nominee’s at Melbourne Fringe 2023.
