Stupid in a bright sort of way.
When three young, largely unknown, comedians took their show to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, they promptly won the Perrier Best Newcomer Award.
Barely six months later, they were starring in their very own series on BBC Radio 4.
Written and performed by Neil Edmond, Justin Edwards and James Rawlings, The Consultants mixes music with comedy, silly with sublime, and inventive with irreverent. The hottest sketch team around, this multi-talented threesome look set to follow the same hit trajectory as those other Perrier Award winners, the League of Gentlemen.
So, if you've ever wondered how to cope with being cast adrift on a self-assembly raft (with missing parts) or wondered about the problems of discovering a 'new-found land', join the new masters of pun and parody for some extremely inventive answers.

McCarthy's tale of his hilarious trip around Ireland has gained thousands of fans all over the world.
Pete was born in Warrington to an Irish mother and an English father and spent happy summer holidays in Cork. Years later, reflecting on the many places he has visited as a travel broadcaster, Pete admits that he feels more at home in Ireland than anywhere. To find out whether this is due to rose-coloured spectacles or to a deeper tie with the country of his ancestors, Pete sets off on a trip around Ireland and discovers that it has changed in surprising ways.
