This Is Not A Rehearsal

Their shows rely on their personalities, their sense of fun, energy and lack of fear.

Their unique humour is based on their ability to say things no-one else could / would dare!

Well known from their many TV and stage appearances and with huge street cred, Eddie and Robbie have an instant rapport with an audience.

This, combined with their tremendous humour and ability to ad-lib, has seen their popularity grow, and grow.

Gulp Fiction was a show in which they played all seven characters.
It was so successful that it completed two sell out runs of 21 shows per run, at the Theatre Royal Stratford, East London and, with Arts Council funding, performed to capacity houses around the country:

West Yorkshire Playhouse c300 x 6 performances
Coventry Belgrade c800 x 2 performances

EDDIE NESTOR AND ROBBIE GEE
are…
The Oddest Couple
Written by Geoff Aymer
Directed by Karena Johnson
Designed by Libby Watson

Following an all-too-brief sell-out run of The Nutty Professionals in 2003, Britain’s best comedy duo, Eddie Nestor and Robbie Gee, returned to Theatre Royal Stratford East with a new and improved version: The Oddest Couple.

The Oddest Couple tells the tale of Nora and Iggy Norant, a suburban couple in a stale marriage. Nora seeks life, love and laughter - which the audience will no doubt provide! Along the way she meets firm favourites from Eddie and Robbie’s previous sketches: the Butu Boys, the Ragga Girls and the grumpy old men Cornelius and Alphonse. With all the characters, male and female young and old, played by Eddie and Robbie, The Oddest Couple is fast-paced comedy at its best.

Eddie Nestor is a recognisable face from TV (he played Nurse Cyril James in Casualty), but it’s probably his deliberately provocative tones on the daily BBC London Drivetime show which are most familiar to listeners…

Robbie Gee is also well-known from past work including Guy Ritchie’s Snatch, Desmond’s (he played Lee, the Peckham Prince), all five series of BBC2’s The Real McCoy and, most recently, as Roly Crouch in BBC1’s The Crouches.

The Oddest Couple will be directed by Karena Johnson (Jerwood Young Directors Award-winner 2003) and designed by Libby Watson (Urban Afro Saxons, Funny Black Women on the Edge).
