Foil Arms and Hog live in Wellington

Comedy trio Foil Arms and Hog have performed on radio, television, the stage, and online. They are heading to the St James Theatre in 2025 with a new loony show called Skittish. It involves a crazy mix of sketch comedy, audience participation, and improvisation.

With over a billion views of their online videos, Foil Arms and Hog have become hugely popular. Their sketches mix observational comedy in with occasional topical subjects. The trio write, shoot, and edit a new sketch every week, releasing it across social media. Their brand of comedy has attracted celebrity fans like Woody Harrelson, Emma Thompson and Rowan Atkinson.

Being Irish, the trio first built an audience for their stage shows in Ireland. That has now extended to the United Kingdom, Europe, North America, and Australasia. Join Sean Finegan (the comedy foil), Conor McKenna (who is all arms and legs), and Sean Flanagan (who hogs the limelight). Foil Arms and Hog are sure to make you laugh.
