The piano/percussion pair have headlined and played to sold-out audiences across the UK, North America and Australia including festival appearances at Glastonbury, Latitude, the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and JFL Montreal Comedy Festival. Their first comedy special, Alive on Stage, was released globally in 2019 and is streaming in over 200 countries on Amazon Prime.
Their high-profile television appearances include Live at the Apollo (BBC2), The Royal Variety Performance (ITV), Comic Relief’s Red Nose Day (BBC1), Jonathan Ross’ Comedy Club (ITV) and The Russell Howard Hour (Sky) and their songs regularly go viral online with over 75 million views across social media.
Most recently the pair created and performed in One Man Musical – a one-act biographical comedy musical starring George Fouracres (Saturday Night Live UK, Hamlet in Hamlet at Shakespeare’s Globe, London) and directed by Georgie Staight (Operation Mincemeat). Originating at the 2024 Edinburgh Fringe the show has transferred to London and Australia and has picked up multiple accolades including #1 Comedy Show of 2024 in The Guardian, Best Show of 2024 at the Chortle Awards and being nominated for Most Outstanding Show at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2025. They will be taking it back to the Edinburgh Fringe for another full run in 2026.
A hugely acclaimed live act, Flo & Joan’s last show Sweet Release was their fifth full-length show and their most critically and commercially successful show to date. Totalling 148 performances, the tour was twice-extended and also included runs at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Edinburgh Fringe Festival, as well as being recorded as a special at the Royal Court, London, before debuting on Sky Comedy in December 2025. The pair are back on the road in 2026 for their brand new tour, With Feeling.
Nicola and Rosie have written songs for the West End musical Death Drop and written and performed songs for Evil (CBS/Paramount Plus), BBC Digital, Question Team (C4), Aardman, Horrible Histories (CBBC), Radio Times, Rob Delaney’s Stand Up Central (Comedy Central), Radio Times, Mark Watson Talks a Bit About Life, The Now Show and Fresh From the Fringe (all BBC Radio 4) and This Hour Has 22 Minutes (Canadian Broadcasting Company).

They can also write and perform tailored stings for award-winners or presenters which have stollen the show on numerous occasions.
