Tickets Now on Sale for ‘Skittish’ Tour
Tickets are now available for Skittish, the highly anticipated new show from Foil Arms and Hog, which promises a perfect mix of sketch comedy, audience participation, and improvisation. Although they’ve gained millions of fans through their viral online videos, the trio's live performances are where they truly shine.
This tour is set to be their largest yet, taking them to some of the biggest venues across the globe, with North American stops in the United States and Canada. Mark your calendars for shows running from November 7-19, 2024 in cities like Los Angeles, Seattle, and Vancouver, and March 9-24, 2025, when the trio will perform in Calgary, Chicago, New York, Toronto, and more.
Why You Shouldn’t Miss Skittish
If you’re a fan of sketch comedy that blends razor-sharp social commentary with outrageous silliness, Skittish is not to be missed. While their popular online sketches—such as When Irish People Can’t Speak Irish, WTF is Brexit, and When Meetings Are No Longer Online—have garnered over a billion views, it’s their live shows that capture the true magic of Foil Arms and Hog.
The trio, made up of Seán “Foil” Finegan, Conor “Arms” McKenna, and Seán “Hog” Flanagan, are masters of engaging with their audience, often pulling unsuspecting members into the madness of their sketches. With a loyal fanbase that includes celebrity admirers like Woody Harrelson, Emma Thompson, and even Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean himself), it’s easy to see why they’ve earned their place as one of the world’s most beloved comedy groups.
From Humble Beginnings to Global Success
Formed in 2008 while attending University College Dublin, Foil Arms and Hog began their journey as part of a college drama society. As Ireland grappled with a financial crash, the trio made the bold decision to pursue comedy full-time rather than more conventional career paths. It’s a risk that has paid off tremendously, as they’ve since performed sell-out shows at prestigious venues like the London Palladium, New York Town Hall, and the Sydney Opera House.
Their rise to fame has been as rapid as it has been well-deserved, with their unique blend of observational humor and sketch comedy resonating with audiences far beyond their native Ireland. Yet, despite their viral fame, it’s clear that live performances remain at the heart of their craft.
