Friends since school, Lorna and Ingrid joined forces to form comedy double act ‘Watson and Oliver’ in 2005. They have performed three sell-out shows at the Edinburgh Festival garnering rave reviews along the way. In addition to their live performances, they have written and performed sketches for various television programmes including  Watson and Oliver’s Funny Cuts (E4), Tonightly (Ch4), The Wall (BBC Three), and Comedy Shuffle (BBC Three). Writing credits include The Peter Serafinowicz Show (BBC2), School of Comedy (Ch4) and The Wrong Door (BBC Three). They are currently in development with the BBC writing a pilot for their own sketch show.
