The Teak Show Performers are Johnny Hansler and Jackie Stirling.
The Teak Show writers are Stephen Dinsdale, Jules Bower, Peter Vincent and Bill Gordon.
The Teak Show is a fast paced blend of sketch and character comedy with a little bit of magic and stand up thrown into the mix. Sketches range from frothy and saucy to dark and surreal. Deluded twins, stinking castaways and 18th football hooligans parade before your eyes with relentless energy, quirky twists and the occasional mention of the word “bum.”
We have performed in a range of comedy nights on the London Comedy Circuit including: 'Out of Vaudeville' (Sound Theatre, Leicester Sq.), The Volupte Lounge (Chancery Lane), 'The Fix' (Arts Theatre club, Soho), 'Mixt Nutz' (Comedy Pub, Soho), Madame JoJo's (Soho) and 'In Peril at Leather' (The Leather Exchange) We were also the only sketch act to feature as Hackney Empire New Act of the Year finalists in March 2007. We host monthly comedy nights as "The Teak Show and Friends" at the Boardwalk Soho, formerly the Establishment Club, London's first satirical nightclub, started by legendary Peter Cook in 1961.

"The Teak Show and Friends Super Comedy Hour" sounds like fun, I'll definitely make an effort to pay a visit sometime. If you're ever around in Camden, I hope you'll swing by The After School Club!
