4 Poofs and A Piano - Friday Night With Jonathan Ross

Friday Night With Jonathan Ross

Ross introduced the band each Friday night with an innuendo-laden joke directed at homosexuality, or the supposed sex lives of gay men. As each guest moved from the green room to the studio, the band played a cover version of a song related to the guest or their field of work. Their camp performance was often highly exaggerated in its stereotypical cabaret manner.

Each week a guest was singled out for special attention by the band who wore specially printed t-shirts featuring the guest's face. This was usually a privilege bestowed upon the guest most deemed a cult figure or gay icon.

In an October 2009 episode of the show with Tim Minchin as a guest, he performed a song called "5 Poofs and 2 Pianos", in which he humorously suggested he join the quartet with his own piano.

They have been signed to the new flagship ITV breakfast show Daybreak, singing a comedic interpretation of the news every Friday.
