Elbowskin
The cheeky musical duo ElbowSkin have been around since 1997, when Dave ‘Elbow’ Adams and Ernie ‘Skin’ Austin were still in their high school. The childhood best friends were cut out to be stage performers and have amply proven their talents as musicians, songwriters and stand up artists over nearly two decades of hilarious performances. Don’t let their boyish looks deceive you into thinking they are novices. ElbowSkin has more experience than some of the senior-most artists, whose ages must be equal to the sum of Dave’s and Ernie’s.
The two of them bring to the stage double the laughs and entertainment because of their excellent comic timings and rib-tickling lyrics. They’ve consistently cracked up pedestrian crowds during national and international comedy festivals and are one of the hottest musical comedy duo in the OZ comedy industry. They head a professional events and entertainment company and are in high demand for corporate comedy and entertainment. Their tunes are hilarious and suitable for all ages, and they can MC all sorts of events. Send us a message today to find out their availability for your event.
COMEDY STYLE
ElbowSkin never fails to entertain, thanks to the duos’ fresh humor and extraordinary music. Their tunes rock all kinds of crowds and their lyrics are often insane enough to trigger beer-spilling laughs. Their immaculate timings and excellent stage chemistry betray their 20-year history as friends and co-performers. They bring a rare sort of intelligence and improvisation to the Aussie comedy circle, a signature comedic brand that’s a crowd-puller and crowd-pleaser. No wonder they have always had a busy schedule and have hosted or performed at virtually every type of comedy, music and entertainment gig known to mankind.
They captivate you with their clever exchange of one-liners that intercedes their delightful melodies, delivering thunderous gags between sessions of soulful music. ElbowSkin are avid corporate comedians who research their audience before the event and customize their humor to cause the most impact. They will proactively ask questions about your organization and audience and will leave a lasting impression with their high quality, bespoke musical comedy. As MC’s they can get even the most demanding and high profile shows to take off the moment they step on stage. They are well-rounded, experienced performers who will leave your audience deeply enthralled.
