Pleasance
I feel I should love Idiots of Ants; they have an impressive résumé consisting of a multitude of stars and sold out their 2008 fringe show. But they seemed... safe. Some of their sketches were hilarious, but for the most part they were, for want of a proper adjective, just too 'BBC 3'. Four middle-class white men providing imaginative sketches with slick projections and professional production style. But it's that brand of comedy that television executives would find hilarious - ones which are risqué enough to warrant post-watershed transmission but lack that comic edge of, say, 'The Fast Show'. It's possibly a bit sweeping to say it, but they provide the sketches which are humorous to those people with responsibilities; middle aged people, mortgage owners and Mondeo drivers.
