ABOUT THE SHOW

From 2017 to 2019, Birds was a quick-fire comedy sketch show full of sharp, snappy and surreal sketches.

During their brief two-year run, Birds performed regularly at various comedy venues in London, as well as fringe festivals throughout the UK and Europe. During this time, they were nominated for the BBC New Comedy Award and placed third at the prestigious Leicester Square Theatre Sketch Off! competition.

Their final fringe show, PLUCK, premiered at the Brighton Fringe in May 2019.

A follow-up show was planned for 2020, but, y’know, the pandemic.
