Max And Iván: Televisionaries

4 Inch Productions

The chemistry between these two is amazing. Max and Ivan's fast-paced sketch show consists of naughty and brilliantly performed parodies that explore laughable aspects of British television and culture. The multi-talented duo bounce off each other like bumper cars as they act, sing and dance their way through a series of varied and energetic sketches. Highlights include their "Credit Crunk" rap, which has the potential to be a chart-topping single, and their hilarious Mario Brothers sketch, which imagines Mario and Luigi living in a Mafia paradise. Their performance is accompanied by visual footage and sound effects that help convey the television formats and stereotypes that dominate our TV screens. The new and much improved Horne and Corden; these guys are going to be popular.
