25 years ago, some of the people who now run Serious took Japanese band Frank Chickens to the Edinburgh Festival. They did one of their best-ever shows and were nominated for a Perrier Award , and we then stopped taking shows to the Fringe, until Penguin Cafe returned there last year.
The people who have taken over the Perrier award are running a public competition to find the most popular Perrier nominee and, thanks to an intervention by Stewart Lee, Frank Chickens have gone viral – in fact, at the moment they’re topping the poll over all the megastars of the comedy world.
If you fancy helping them on their way, you can see more and vote at www.comedyawards.co.uk/whoisyourcomedygod.asp - perhaps Serious and Frank Chickens will be reunited once again...
