The Edinburgh Interviews: Seven Questions With… Twins

August 10, 2016 by Becca Moody 1 Comment
Twins are Jack Barry and Annie McGrath, a sketch duo known for their silly and childish style of comedy that epitomises the idea of escapism within entertainment. These two make a marvellous pair, with their contrasting personalities producing an interesting comedic energy within performance, and with elements of surrealism and absurdity giving their material a refreshing twist. Barry and McGrath bring their latest show Two Balls In A Bag to this year’s Edinburgh Festival.
To find out more, I asked Twins these seven questions…

1) What annoys you most about your sketch partner?

AM: He’s lazy, he’s hungover, he’s late, he forgets everything, he can’t read, he can’t write.

JB: Nothing. I like Annie.

2) What is the most rewarding aspect of sketch comedy, for you?

AM: All that sweet ca$h we earn.

JB: The laughs on all the little babies’ faces.

3) Do you read your horoscope?

AM: No, I read Jack’s.

JB: And I read Annie’s.

4) North or South?

AM: North.

JB: South.

AM: Actually, can I change my answer to South?

JB: Actually, can I change my answer to North?

5) When was the last time you felt disappointed?

AM: Edinburgh 2015.

JB: When this interview started.

6) Are you tight with money?

AM: What money?

JB: Is there money? I’d love some money.

7) Do you think the Edinburgh Festival is the most important event in British comedy?

AM: Apparently.

JB: So we’ve been told.
