A musical comedy duo is bringing their unique show to Brighton Fringe.
As seen on Channel 4, Jack McMinn and Absana Rutherford will perform Petfood! at Temple Bar, Western Road, on Friday, May 3, and Saturday, May 4.
The one-hour show is a mix of sketch comedy, cabaret, and music.
The duo has been performing around Oxford, London, Edinburgh and beyond since 2023, reaching the 2025 Musical Comedy Awards finals and the 2026 Museum of Comedy Sketch-Off semi-finals.
Jon Batiste, the eight-time Grammy-winning musician, expressed his wish to work with Jack McMinn following a comedy song about tapeworms performed on Channel 4’s The Piano.
The pair have also been historical consultants for the Museum of Oxford’s exhibition Ronnie Barker – Oxford’s Comedy Legend and the official biography of Terry Jones Seriously Silly.
Petfood! marks their second Brighton Fringe appearance after 2025’s variety show Live and Peculiar.
Jack McMinn said: "Expect laughs, tears (from laughing) and some surprises along the way (probably more laughs and tears, realistically). Bring tissues regardless."
The show will start at 9.15pm with tickets priced at £10, with concessions at £8.
The show is for adults only.
No other performances of the full show are planned in the near future.
