Idiots Of Ants at iComFest

Idiots Of Ants - iComFest questionnaire

E4's Fictional Emergency Comedy Commissioning Editor puts each of this year's shows through the one-minute pitch process...

So hit me with the high concept, baby

No high concept - Simply sketch comedy as it should be, pacey, funny and downright silly!

Ah the old "no high concept" high concept. Tricksy. Could do with a little more filling out, though, mainly 'cos I'm pretty slow when it comes to telly...

After a series of top reviews and a total sell out at the Edinburgh Festival 2007, Idiots of Ants (the ones who did that "Facebook in reality" video you were probably sent) have transferred their unique styled sketch show onto the screen. It is a barrage of silly, twisted, delightfully warped and joyously upbeat sketches. The Evening Standard described it as 'very, very funny'. So strap yourself in, grab some popcorn and whack it on!

Oh. My. God. There's loads of you!

The Idiots are Andrew Spiers, Elliot Tiney, Benjamin Wilson and James Wrighton. In the short time they have been together they have stacked up quite an impressive resume. You may have seen them on BBC Three's The Wall, heard them on BBC Radio 4's Loose Ends or seen their "Facebook in real life" video on YouTube that has attracted over a million viewers. They have also individually appeared in numerous other comedy shows on television and stage.

Facebook! Liking the namecheck of a social media network next gen platform API, there. And YouTube too. How're you going to occupy and own that gap in the market?

Ooh, this is like Dragons Den! We would be delighted to film some more of our sketches, we have loads left! We would shoot the one about the penguin who comes out of the closet and maybe even unveil all the BBC sports themes with their original lyrics. We'd also invest in a silly walk manual, a squirty flower and some stunt midgets. Vote for us!

Now that's what I call a sell. Pity I switched off half way through, but I am notoriously ADHD, and there was a thing.

Maybe you can concentrate long enough to browse through a selection of our sample clips?
