***Bio***

‘Get this, The Dog-Eared Collective are a quartet of funny mongers championing a wildly anarchic and mischievously surreal brand of comedy. We are Kathryn Hanke, James Huntington, Joanna Hutt and Jenny Thomson.’

***Overview***

The Dog-Eared Collective have a number of highly regarded Edinburgh shows to their name and have built a reputation as one of the sharpest sketch groups to emerge in recent years.

Following a triumphant run at The Brighton Fringe in 2011, The Dog-Eared Collective were chosen to feature in Citroen’s sponsorship advertising for the festival. They have since performed across the UK alongside Idiots of Ants and The Penny Dreadfuls, as well as hosting “The Doghouse” – a monthly London based comedy night.
