Foil Arms and Hog

Foil Arms and Hog are back with their brand-new show, Skittish. A mix of sketch comedy, audience participation, and improvisation. With over one billion views you may know the lads from their online videos, but their live show is where they're at their best. With celebrity fans that include Woody Harrelson, Emma Thompson, and Mr. Bean himself, come and see why Foil Arms and Hog have become one of the world's most renowned sketch groups.  After sell out shows at the London Palladium, New York Town Hall, and the Sydney Opera House, the Irish trio embark on their biggest world tour yet.

'They're just fantastically funny' (The Times).

'Quite simply, a sensation' (EdFest).

'The laughs start when they arrive on stage and don't stop until they leave' (Reviews Hub, London Palladium).

'Very funny show' (Rowan Atkinson).

'Hilarious' (Kevin Bridges).

'An effervescent hour of fast-paced gags, fizzing with energy, invention and great lines' (Chortle.co.uk).

Foil Arms and Hog is an Irish sketch comedy group comprising Sean Finegan (Foil), Conor McKenna (Arms), and Sean Flanagan (Hog). The group performs on TV, radio, the stage and online. The trio write, shoot, and edit a new sketch every week in their office, releasing it for YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram on IGTV. Foil Arms and Hog do not have a specific genre, and make sketches that are often observational and occasionally topical. Popular sketches released to YouTube include 'When Irish People Can't Speak Irish', 'An Englishman Plays Risk', 'WTF is Brexit', and 'How to Speak Dublin'. Foil Arms and Hog also perform live shows, primarily in Ireland and the United Kingdom, but also in the United States, Australia, the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, and a number of runs at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

The group's name evolved from nicknames each of the members had for each other, Foil (Sean Finegan) being the comedy foil, Arms (Conor McKenna) was 'All arms and Legs', and Hog (Sean Flanagan) because he ostensibly hogged the limelight.
