Youre out on the estate enjoying the rare bright weather.
All around you is vibrant celebration.
You join in watching what is sure to be a lesson in painful humiliation… except theyre good.
In fact theyre better than good.
Theyre nailing each precise jump with a bit of flare.
Now theyre doing tricks you never imagined were possible.
The ropes come to a stop, and the crowd cheers.
The drunken businessmen soak up the applause, then one of them throws up on himself.
Welcome to the world ofCardinal Burns.
They received a Best Newcomer nomination at the Edinburgh comedy awards before becoming a duo in 2009.

One of the first things you notice is just how good it all looks.
Every sketch is shot like it belongs in a movie.
We just thought it has much more of an impact if theres very little dialogue.
Almost like a two minute film.
Theyre not very TV friendly a lot of the time.
So if you filmed them all, it would be sort of still from each one to the next.
So I think as its developed our ideas have gotten a lot more intricate and visual.
But then a lot of the stuff we film, we wouldnt able to do live.
It just wouldnt work.
Cardinal Burns reality isnt that far removed from our own.
Its just sort of shunted left a bit.
Were very good at doing mundane characters.
In that we like find different levels of mundanity funny.
Its funny to us, that intricacy, says Dustin.
But old favourites such as Banksy and the Office Flirts havent been forgotten.
This series sees them becoming more fully rounded.
With the Flirts we found they lent themselves to telling a story.
The Young Dreams girls are more episodic but theres a journey to the flirts.
We always liked characters that are incredibly mundane and unaware of how boring they are, explains Seb.
In this series, we see more of Banksys family life, Seb says.
Its fun when you start off with one character and you build on the people around them.
It really helps when the cast come in with ideas on how they play their characters.
Having been developed over two years, theres a real feeling of progression with series 2.
Though they say theyre not good at punchlines, theres plenty to be found here.
With a second series and an upcoming national tour, the future looks bright for them both.
Cardinal Burns series 2 starts on April 30th and can soon be seen touring around the country from September.
