The Raymond & Mr Timpkins Revue
"Joyous. Pretty irresistible"
CHORTLE
"Knockabout double-act with enough silliness to fill a pillow"
THE EVENING STANDARD
An incredible double-act mixing daftness, music, nonsense, searing satire, and funny hats...
Cutting their teeth compering and performing in Comedy and Variety nights at The Wedgewood Rooms in Southsea, the nineties wafted gently past until, eventually and not before time, London called. With the fledgling post-fix, "Revue", added, they blasted the clubs with their Guitar and Stylophone stylings, wowing rooms with super slick prop manipulation, dazzling jaded eyes with sandal based choreography that remains inimitable.
Now, they tour the country, regularly headlining at Jongleurs clubs, even venturing as far afield as The Falklands and Oman, to provide spiritual uplift to the brave boys and girls of the armed forces.
Their latest foray is into radio comedy/drama. A 1930s murder mystery based in Brighton and a retellling of the Jack the Ripper tale have so far been forged in the red hot fires of their imaginations.
"A mad, anarchic triumph of stupidity over style. Not to be missed"
THE GUARDIAN
"Spectacularly funny"
