Swinging Seniors Cruise Ship

The Burton Brothers are not the same person!

Contrary to popular belief, they are in fact two separate people. Yes, they’re real-life brothers who perform sketch comedy together. Yes, they sleep in bunk beds and wear matching pajamas. Yes, when they come down the stairs they come down in pairs – but they’re completely different people! One is named Josh and the other is named Tom. But, which one is which you ask? Well! There’s only one way to find out – in their brand-new sketch show Swinging Seniors Cruise Ship!

Following their smash hit show, Snake Oil (Adelaide Fringe 2021, Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2021), the Burton Brothers return with their second completely original sketch comedy show.

This show explores the differences between two very similar siblings. What tickles one brother's fancy doesn't always tickle the other brother. Will their similarities bond them forevermore or will their differences split them in twain? 

Written and performed by Tom Burton (It’s Talkie Time With Jackie Lime) and Josh Burton (Impromptunes), and drawing on a lifetime of shared history, the brothers return to Melbourne International Comedy Festival once again with their unique comedic style of sketch, improv and song. This show is for anyone with a sibling or best friend (imaginary or otherwise). 

“Their writing is clever and their sketches are hilarious”, 

“If you have a brother, sister or even a close mate, you should check this out!” - Weekend Notes.

"The Burton Brothers are a triple threat – they can sing, act and they know comedy." - Melbourne Observer.
