Who are Wittank

Fringe favourites WitTank are Kieran Boyd, Mark Cooper-Jones and Naz Osmanoglu. Having formed in Durham at the end of 2005, the group performed at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2006 and have returned to play to packed houses every year since.

 Their innovative, energetic style of comedy has earned them much critical acclaim and ever-increasing audiences.

WitTank hit the London circuit running in 2009, and have performed sketches across the country, including comedy festivals in Leicester, Sheffield, Leeds and Dublin. The trio are all stand up comedians in their own right and have taken stand up shows to Edinburgh since 2009.

They have performed live on BBC radio Scotland during the Fringe, and contributed to BBC3’s Laughtershock in 2010.

In 2011 they were nominated for The Leicester Comedy Festival Best Show award.
