Frisky & Mannish updates: The Guardian & Radio 4

Brian Logan in The Guardian says “Novelty singles gave this art form [musical comedy] a bad rap but acts such as Flight of the Conchords and Frisky and Mannish have brought it countercultural cachet.”

Us, and Flight of the Conchords.

Saving musical comedy.

…!

Actually, it’s a sub-header likely written by an intern. The article itself says “Comedy as an industry can now support careers dedicated to finding the funny in music and lyrics. It’s not a novelty anymore, it’s an art form, a calling even, with its own superstars – Tim Minchin, Bo Burnham, Flight of the Conchords – and sassy newer acts (Frisky and Mannish, say) with countercultural cachet.”

But to that intern who chose us over Tim and Bo — thank you, darling.

Also, forgot to say, back in August we were on Radio 4’s Sketchorama (Series 4 Episode 3) with Isy Suttie, Lazy Susan and Thünderbards — not sure if it’s still playable and for how long, so click now!
