Fiona McDermott at Channel 4 who commissioned the series said: “Quite simply, Cardinal Burns are one of the funniest sketch duos around. Delightfully clever, imaginative and silly, theirs is a brand of comedy that is perfect for E4 and we can’t wait to start working with them.”
Seb Cardinal and Dustin Demri-Burns said: “We are thrilled to be working with Left Bank Pictures and E4 on our series. We cannot wait to get writing in our swanky new office right in the heart of Park Royal industrial estate.”
Jenna Jones, Producer added: “As soon as we saw Seb and Dustin at the Edinburgh Fringe we realised they both had star quality and could bring something fresh and exciting to sketch comedy. Bursting with bold, inventive characters which they match with a delightfully subtlety, Cardinal Burns do instinctive, stylish, arms wide open comedy.”
