  • “Will leave you gasping for air as they deliver hit after hit in a hilarious style far removed from the songs’ origin. Unbelievable”
    The Sun (UK)

Have you ever found a pop song funny? Ever been so angry you exploded into a chorus of "Beat It"? Then you are chosen. Liberate your mind. Let the re-education begin. Frisky and Mannish are musicians on a mission. It's "Eternal Flame", Jim, but not as we know it!

Experience Frisky and Mannish's School of Pop and you will never think of The Bangles the same way again...The innovators of musical hilarity and the darlings of international cabaret, Frisky and Mannish make it their mission to re-educate the world on the plethora of possibilities hidden beneath pop classics such as "Come on Eileen" and "Thriller".

Since the formation of Frisky and Mannish, Felicity Fitz-Frisky (an English eccentric) and Hansel Amadeus Mannish (a gypsy genius) have not looked back. Starting with a one-off charity appearance on Battersea Barge, the pair were soon performing at venues in New York, Berlin and to a sold-out season at Leicester Square Theatre.

There is a line in Frisky & Mannish's musical misappropriation of the Ting Tings' track ‘That's Not My Name' when they weave in a direct quote from a recent critic's review. Here's one from Time Out Sydney they can use for their Mardi Gras season run at the Opera House studio until 7 March, if they so wish. "Frisky & Mannish are clever, inventive, polished, prodigiously talented and extremely funny. Five glittering stars."
