FEATURE: Can Rubberbandits stretch their comedy to the UK?

The Limerick duo’s act is peppered with Irish references. Will British audiences get them, asks Dave Kenny

COMEDY is about ‘timing’. Father Ted, Lenny Bruce, Jim Davidson, On The Buses … they were ‘of their time’.

Bruce would not be as offensive today as he was in the 1960s. Davidson was not as offensive in the un-PC 1980s as he is today. On The Buses was perfect for the mildly misogynistic 1970s.
