Life can be really boring, especially when you’re a decorator with time on your hands and beats in your head.

But when your mate’s into the same sounds as you are, work gets a bit funkier.

This crazy pair of painters escape the monotony of their dull jobs by taking refuge in hip-hop, MC-ing and beatbox, mixing it up but usually ending up just mixed up!

Rannel’s must-see new show combines witty dialogue and intricate choreography to create an energetic and hilarious comedy for all ages.

‘Wonderfully fresh and fine comic actors… superb funky moves and breaking..... A comedic gem.’
