In an age where gathering round the television with the family – doing anything but talking to each other – is a thing of the past, this comedy group is determined to bring you a genuine shared experience of sitting and watching. Known for their 'sharply surreal writing and natural funny bones' (Chortle.co.uk) and 'whatever The Scotsman said' (Scotsman), Metroland invites you to an hour of programmed entertainment full of absurd, acerbic characters painted with a smattering of Geordie charm. It's definitely not a simulation. 'Get them on the telly now' (Rolling Stone).
