Idiots of Ants are Andrew Spiers, Elliott Tiney, Benjamin Wilson and James Wrighton. They have written and performed their unique blend of fast paced sketch comedy all over the world since 2007.

They’ve performed five sell-out Edinburgh festival shows and completed a successful UK tour which culminated in a West End run. The Ant's have been featured on BBC1, BBC 2, E4 and Radio 4, with their skits also making an appearance on The Today Show in the US and ChannelPlus in France.

In 2009 they were nominated for Edinburgh Comedy Award (formally Perrier) and in 2010 they won the Chortle Best Sketch Act.

They have appeared at festivals around the world including Montreal Just for Laughs, Kilkenny and this year Melbourne.

The Ants have also attracted a massive internet following with their Facebook, Twitter and YouTube groups supporting thousands of fans. Their "Facebook in real life" and "Wii Breakfast" sketches are becoming two of the most viewed YouTube UK comedy clips of all time. « less
