"Peacock & Gamble Emergency Broadcast"
Bumper two hour shows commencing on 24th Feb 2011 at Kings Place, London - "Peacock & Gamble Emergency Broadcast" touring the UK from July 2011 (including a full run at the Pleasance during the Edinburgh Fringe). The show is based on the concept that the "real" show has been halted, so Ray and Ed take over and fill the time so the audience still have a show to watch. Early shows have featured a seance, a guide to world culture, a re-creation of the Stanford experiment, a tribute to Sister Act, and live Guitar Hero. The Kings Place shows are also notable for their live Twitter take-overs, where Ray and Ed hack into an audience members account during the interval.
