THE AWKWARD SILENCE - WRITERS
The Awkward Silence are a sketch comedy double act. They're Ralph Jones and Vyvyan Almond. Yes, that's them on the right there - those gentlemen looking rather SILLY!
They've written and performed a range of stage shows - The Voyage of The Narwhal, Racketeers, The Bastard King, and Bufo Bufo - and in 2022 they're taking up to the Edinburgh Fringe a musical, The Awkward Silence's Big Break, and a sketch show, Enter the Vortex. They've also released an improvised podcast called Disgraced and the pilot episode of a scripted podcast called Mea Culpa.
In 2020 they were runners-up in the Leicester Square Theatre Sketch Off competition, and in 2021 they won two DAFTAs for their short spoof of The Mauritanian and were shortlisted for a Writers' Guild Award for their sketch 'Where Did It Come From? The Hat'.
