For centuries man has been fascinated by stories and once in a while, when the stars align, out of the rich tapestry of yarns comes a legend. This is The Legend of Nic and Joe!
Nic Bowden and Joe Lister-Streep play Joe Lister-Streep and Nic Bowden; two struggling sitcom writers with a deadline to meet, but a severe case of writer’s block. This is hardly surprising though as most of their time is spent becoming embroiled in a series of hair-brained schemes, meeting a plethora of colourful characters and indulging in a spot of casual violence. It’s wacky, it’s fun, it’s crazy, it’s outrageous. It’s about 30 minutes too long…
