I LOVE EMAILS!

22 Oct

Everyone loves emails right? RIGHT?! Well that’s good, because we set up a new Mailing List. It’s true! You can actually get an email from us. It will probably be whenever Beattie remembers/ is shouted at, and that will probably be less than once a month, but they will look really great and will tell you about gigs and stuff or maybe just have cyber treats in them. Visual cyber treats.

SIGN UP NOW! CLICK HERE! ON THE WORD ‘HERE’!

HO! WE’RE BACK!

Feeding Time

Hey guys,

We’ve had a little break of late. We did the Edinburgh festival and it drained us of most of our life force, so we took a little comedy nap.

The good news is that now we’re back home in stinky old London and we have eaten enough food to sustain us for the winter. This means we will be doing some comedy shows, or ‘gigs’, which is great news for those people who missed the Edinburgh festival, because we will be doing our AMAZING show Birthday Girls: 2053 at the following places:

Saturday 28th September, The Globe Inn, Glossop:  TICKETS PLEASE

Sunday 29th September, The Frog and Bucket, Manchester: PRETTY PLEASE!

Thursday 10th October, The Camden Head, Camden

Sunday 20th October, The Pleasance, Islington:  HO LORDY!

So get yourself down to a gig mates! We need you to come.

R.I.P The Wilmington Arms!

18 Jul

Ok. It’s a pub so it can’t technically die, it can only close down. And ok, it isn’t even closing down, it’s just turning into a gastro pub, but still, IT’S A SAD DAY.

The Wilmo is the place we did our first ever gig in London. It’s where we learned how sweet the sound of laughter can be, and also how soul-destroying the sound of silence. It’s the best grotty back room of a pub we’ve ever played in.

To give comedy’s premier venue a right good send off, we’re doing one last gig with some of our favourite acts that have graced our residencies there to give it a right good send off before they paint it pastel colours, put in the distressed mirrors and start serving trios of mini-burgers.

YOU HAVE TO COME!

THE FINAL EVER BIRTHDAY GIRLS COMEDY PARTY is on 23rd July at 8pm.

It features all these amazing people:

THAT’S WHAT MAKES YOU BIRTHDAY GIRLS…

26 Mar

Hey birthday bitches

Camille was on Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway on…Saturday.

What direction do you think this will go in?

‘One way, or another’…you’re gonna like it.

Don’t go ‘crazy, crazy, crazy’… if it won’t load fast enough.

Can Camille turn both left and right? No, she can only go in…

Beattie and Rose say ‘that’s what makes her beautiful’.
