TeakShow is a rare phenomenon - a one man, one woman sketch act. London based TeakShow was formed by actors Jackie Stirling and Johnnie Hansler and writer/director Stephen Dinsdale.

They have performed to rave reviews in comedy festivals throughout the country and also ran a comedy venue in London - in the building that housed Peter Cook's legendary Establishment Club.

TeakShow has a pool of sketch writers who have also written for TV, radio, film and theatre and who produce a continually riotous repertoire - and they and the performers are also available for bespoke events and corporate commissions.
