The Flying Pigs are a musical sketch comedy team based in Aberdeen in the north-east of Scotland that has received some UK-wide coverage due to their BBC Scotland radio show Desperate Fishwives. After the success of the Aberdeen Student Show during the 1990s, several members of the script team, during the 1993 last night party, toyed with the idea of creating a new group to serve as a forum for sketch based comedy ideas which did not fit within the confines of Student Show. Writers Greg Gordon, Andrew Brebner, Charles Sandison, Ewan MacGillivray and Grant Campbell started meeting on a regular basis, creating new characters and ideas. After a while, due to other commitments and relocations, only Gordon and Brebner remained; but by the end of 1995 they had enough material to put on a show. The then director of Student Show, John Hardie, was asked to direct the show, and the original cast, all Student Show alumni, were assembled. The first show, Last Tango in Powis was debuted at the Lemon Tree Theatre on 19 February 1996. More information...
