“On January 21st 1999 the Gotobed & Knight story began at 45 Eggshell Lane, Scunthorpe, England, where Rob Gotobed and Tony Knight first bumped into each other. Rob invited Tony to help him stand up. Tony, merely an amateur drinker, agreed and on that very spot a legend was created – a legend that would last an English pub lunchtime!!

They gained their first manager Shaggy Epstein as part of a bet (which they lost). He immediately put them into the studio. Their first comedy album ‘What the hell happened to us?’ took 11 minutes to record. The second, ‘‘We’ve Arrived! (And To Prove It We’re Here)', took even longer!!

In 2005 ‘Gotobed & Knightmania’ hit England, which brought unprecedented scenes of mass ovulation all over the United Kingdom!

In 2006 Rob & Tony made the all-important breakthrough in America. 10,000 screaming fans were at Kennedy Airport to greet them. Unfortunately Gotobed & Knight arrived at La Guardia.”

They were due to be guests on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno but as a security precaution they arrived by helicopter a day early. This enabled them to be safely in and out of the studio before the audience arrived and the show was recorded! It was a brilliant public relations coup. The audience were shouting and screaming so hard that the millions watching at home never even noticed that ‘Gotobed & Knight’ didn’t even appear on the show!! Jay Leno described it as the most exciting two minutes of his life.

In 2007 Gotobed & Knight faced the biggest threat to their careers when Will Ferrell introduced the two guys from England to ‘Twinkies’.

They enjoyed the pleasant effects of its creamy fillings, despite warnings that it would lead to stronger things, and it enormously influenced their greatest comedy album, ‘Sergeant Gota’s Lonely Darts Club Twinkie Light Show’.

Ambitious in its nature, it has gone down in history as the first comedy album to contain no jokes, in fact the album consists of two sides of silence apart from a very large belch 0.02 seconds from the end of the record.

Also, the cover with full frontal Gotobed & Knight riding a naked Yoko Ono & Heather Mills to a local pig market made many fans believe that the Fab 2 had gone too far this time!! < less
