Twisted Loaf fan? Missed their sell out show at Leicester Square Theatre? Never fear because Funny Women Award winners 2013 Twisted Loaf will be performing their Edinburgh Fringe preview show Half Baked at Bethnal Green's Working Men's Club this July. 

"Surreal, silly and beautifully performed" The Huffington Post

Watch their hilariously fraught relationship gradually unravel from 'cabaret show' to chaos, as they perform a collection of sketches that mercilessly explode female archetypes. A supremely fearless double act, Twisted Loaf are blisteringly funny idiots. Brash, bold and completely bonkers.

Twisted Loaf are Nina Smith and Libby Northedge. Highly experienced physical performers, they have honed their individual skills in acting, comedy improvisation and clowning to create their own unique style. 

"Twisted Loaf’s comedy comes from that dark, physical part of our minds where an idea is stretched as far as it is possible until you laugh with relief and surprise.  Think French & Saunders, mixed with Mighty Boosh and a sprinkle of League of Gentlemen.  I hate comparisons but this demonstrates that there is something for everybody!" Funny Women founder and executive producer Lynne Parker

As Twisted Loaf they have been working with comedy expert, Spymonkey’s Cal McCrystal. They are currently developing an idea for BBC Radio 4 Comedy and BBC3's online Comedy Feeds.

Catch them before they go big!
