Alongside his famously prodigious output of punnery, Tim Vine is a wonderfully imaginative comedy creator.

Although they are both of the highest quality, Phil Nichol keeps his two performance styles very separate. He gives us some very specific insight into the unusual dynamic between his constantly-evolving experimental work, and his tried-and-tested, roof-raising club set.
