The Live Experience

Basics
Show Length on TOUR : As a rough guide the first half of the show is 50 mins, then a break, and a second half of roughly 40 mins. It varies depending on how much (or how little) the audience laugh. Generally speaking if it starts at 8pm it’ll be over at 10pm. The first half will be most of the new sketches that premiered at the Fringe, the second have is a set list of older favourites, and wrapping up with the new show's finale.

Show length at ED FRINGE: these shows contain only new material and run for 55 mins.

Age Suitability : We recommend all our shows as over 14 accompanied by an adult. They do a Family Show as well each year in Vicar Street where the material is the same, the only difference is under 18s are allowed. Foil and Arms did do a special child-friendly adaptation of SkiddlyWup in 2015 at the Comedy Club 4 Kids UK.

Show Titles
Ahead of the 2019 and (cancelled) 2020 Fringe, FAH decided to tweet a request for FAHns to come up with show titles, both on Instagram (16 Jan 2019) and Twitter (22 Jan 2019, 13 Jan 2020).



Our selection of suggestions for the August 2019 show (eventually Craicling):
 * Swine and Dine
 * Oh Frail Smog - an anagram of Foil Arms and Hog
 * Comedian Rhapsody
 * Foil Arms and Hog: Wash
 * Show Squealer
 * Rib Tickling
 * Pulled Pork🐖
 * Craic Team
 * Clingfilm leg-pig
 * Pig Tales
 * “At least it’s not on YouTube” 😂
 * Inter-net people

And the excellent suggestion: "If Conor is willing to change his name it could be ‘Seánanigans’"

Our selection of suggestions for the August 2020 show (eventually Hogwash):
 * Foil Arms and Hog: Warts
 * Scratchings
 * Snout and About
 * Philanthropig
 * Pigged Out
 * Pigsty
 * Hamming

They still went with their own creation for 2019 (Craicling), but in 2020 one FAHn had her idea from the previous poll adopted by the lads: "Full credit for the name of our new show 'Hogwash' must go to @j_leanne_ If you could come up with some jokes for the new show Jess we'd be even more grateful"

As a thank you, she received a lovely name drop and a package full of merch in the post! Sadly, we will have to wait for Hogwash till 2021.

Merch Hauls


HAPPY MERCHMAS!!! There's been a major upgrade in the merch department! Besides the sweatshirts and tote bags we already know and love, and of course the ESSENTIAL FAH DVDs and USB stick in a lovely wooden box, there's now a whole new range of clothing and some brand new items available. You might find them useful, or just decorative, but they're 100% FAH so get them while they're cosy!

As you can see from Hog's pics, Xmas Merch is in full swing... even though folding proves difficult! What a delightful mess of boxes and merch their office is! Wondering how they're gonna shoot sketches like this though.

Pictures from Instagram stories (posted on 1 Dec 2020). Check out more (hilarious & cute!!) Merch photoshoot pics in the online shop on their website!

What's in a Venue?
An analysis by Kay

After a conversation about was London the biggest UK Venue that Foil Arms And Hog have played, I decided to research Venues within the UK (excluding N. Ireland) that the lads have played over the years and what the capacity is (Original Twitter Thread here).

Disclaimer, not all venues are mentioned as some have closed down, are under new management, have been refurbished or do not have a website.
