Come and see why the Irish trio has become the top selling act at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival for three consecutive years.

They have also amassed tens of millions of followers in India, the Philippines and China where they are known as ‘The three brothers.’ On the Chinese equivalent of YouTube (Bilibili), the trio have gained one million subscribers, making them one of the top foreign acts on the platform. They’ve been admired by celebrities including Emma Thompson, Rowan Atkinson, Key and Peele and Woody Harrelson, who uploaded their sketch without crediting them, and if they ever meet him in person, they probably won’t mention it.
