Comedy duo All Wear Bowlers are heading Down Under. Who are they? They are two men who model themselves on Laurel and Hardy, who put eggs in their mouths, play with the notion of time and space using film, and are very very funny. The two Americans have been working on their performances since 2000, and for the Sydney Festival will be visiting Australia for the first time.

Geoff Sobelle and Trey Lyford are experienced clowns, and create performances using silent film techniques, vaudeville style, Beckett philosophy, and their own particular spark. We spoke to Lyford in order to understand just what audiences can expect from the duo.
