Sammy J and Randy: Ricketts Lane
Tell us a little bit about your show – where’s it happening, what’s it about, why should people come to see it?
Sammy J: The show is called Ricketts Lane and it’s on in the Cowbarn at 6pm every night.
Randy: Don’t we get a night off?
Sammy J: Yes, but we don’t need to tell them that. In the show, I’m a sh*t-kicking tax lawyer and I have to prosecute Randy, my best friend and housemate, for tax fraud.
Randy: What if the people come on the night we have off?
Sammy J: The show is like a live crime-thriller sitcom, it’s very entertaining.
Randy: This is bullsh*t.
What are you most looking forward to about coming back to Edinburgh?
Sammy J: The historical charm of the old town..
Randy: The battered Mars Bars.
What’s been your favourite / funniest Edinburgh Fringe experience so far?
Sammy J: Winning the award in 2009 for comedic duo most likely to be tossed like a caber.
If money was no object, what publicity stunt would you do to promote your show?
Randy: Run a nationwide advertising campaign and cast Russell Brand as Sammy J and Ricky Gervais as Randy.
Who else are you planning or hoping to see?
Sammy J: The Lord.
Randy: Satan, the prince of darkness.
What do you have planned for after the Fringe?
Randy: Your mum.
Sammy J: What does that even mean?
Randy: I don’t know. I’ve heard people saying it and thought I’d give it a shot.
Sammy J: Don’t do it again.
Sum up your show in three words for us:
Sammy J: Three words each?
Randy:No, together.
Sammy J: I think I just f***ed it.
Randy: Yep.
