Rob Gotobed & Tony Knight are the youngest Gotobed & Knight in history. They are much taller than an elf and have been performing comedy since before the Renaissance.

In 2010 they had nineteen out of the top twenty jokes in England.

In 2012 the ‘Fab Two’ made the all-important breakthrough in America. 9,997.5 screaming fans were at Kennedy Airport to greet them. Unfortunately Gotobed & Knight arrived at La Guardia.

They were due to be guests on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno but as a security precaution they arrived a day early. This enabled them to be safely in and out of the studio before the audience arrived and the show was recorded.

It was a brilliant PR coup! The millions watching at home never even noticed that ‘Gotobed & Knight’ didn’t even appear on the show.

Jay Leno described it as the most uneventful two minutes of his life.

In 2013 Gotobed & Knight faced an evener bigger threat to their careers when Will Ferrell introduced the two guys from England to ‘Twinkies’.

They enjoyed the pleasant effects of its creamy fillings, despite warnings that it would lead to stronger things, and it enormously influenced their greatest comedy album, ‘Sergeant Gotobed’s Lonely Darts Club Twinkie Light Show’.

With such standout tracks as, ‘Judy on Sky with Jonathan Ross, ‘James Corden’s Leaving Home’, ‘With a Little Help from Jon Plowman’, ‘Lovely Miranda Hart, ‘Being For The Benefit of John Cleese’ and of course ‘A Day with Eddie Izzard’s Wife’.

The release of this album – a millstone in comedy history, contributed greatly to an idyllic summer of bells, flowers and Twinkies. But it was not to last. Under questioning Tony refused to lie to the British Press and admitted not only eating and enjoying Twinkies, but ‘3 Musketeer Bars’ as well, especially the ones with peanut butter.

Gotobed meanwhile had fallen under the influence of ‘Mararishi Tom Cruise‘, the Hollywood Mystic, and he had introduced Rob to the world of ‘Surreal Beer’ and the Ouija Wok.

The ‘Mararishi’ then invited the ‘Pre-Fab 1’ on a get away-from-it-all, table-tapping weekend to Band Camp, where he promised to enlighten Rob with the meaning of life, and where he could buy chinos for cost price.

In amidst all this controversy they released their ‘We’ve Arrived! (And To Prove It We’re Here)’ Album, now famously known worldwide as the ‘Beige Album’.

Reviews from their American shows:

“I don’t think legally this qualifies as comedy!” - Kathy Brûlée The Boston Tribune.

“An absolutely horrible show. It was opening night of their tour and Rob Gotobed was already using an understudy.” - NYC Gazette.

“It’s the most upsetting experience I’ve ever had in a comedy club.” - The Chicago Chronicle

“The only time the audience applauded was when I threw a shoe at Gotobed’s head.” - Zach O’Brian, The Colorado Express
