Nicko was born into the world of stand up comedy back in 1995 when she appeared on BBC 1's "The Stand up show" as part of the open mic comedy awards final. This was only her third attempt at stand up and looking back thinks it would have been better if she had actually decided stand up comedy was the career for her before embarking on something so public.

Nicko did stand up for 3 years before swapping it for a career in music, although throughout this time she continued to write for various magazines and publications such as Deadpan, Comedy Review and had a few short stories published in the book "Dates from Hell". She dipped her toe back into the comedy waters in 1999 when she became part of the experimental comedy/music machine "The Paul Ferguson Project" until they disbanded back in 2001. Since then she has roamed the world spreading her own brand of music and comedy as well as becoming a regular guest on Nicola Heywood Thomas BBC Radio talk show. "

Not only has his band Wilmer performed all over the UK, they have also had heir songs played on various television shows - including Jara and Nuts & Bolts. Joe was also was involved with the sound post production on the Robin of Sherwood DVD and has also appeared along side Michael Winner in the Esure Commercials (but he likes to keep that a secret).

Nicko and Joe fit in just as well in both comedy clubs and music venues - and with the growing population of their Internet followers - can be found bringing their own unique brand of hour long musical whimsy up and down the UK. The success of their show "Songs We Think We Know" at the 2004 Melbourne Comedy Festival, Nicko's 2005 Melbourne show "Appetite for Distraction" with fellow comedian Silky, their critically acclaimed show, "Nicko and Joe Sell out" which they performed at The Underbelly at the Edinburgh fringe in 2005, their sell out Christmas shows and popular disaster broadcast play "Death Plays Black" go to prove that this flexible comedy duo can turn their hand to anything.
