Pierre Hollins claims the only “proper jobs” he’s ever had were washing dishes in the House of Commons, laboring on a gas pipeline in Qatar, and teaching drama to the mentally ill. However, he does have some credits. These include being a support act to Lenny Henry and Rory Bremner; appearing in the West End with Rita Rudner; and touring with The Flying Pickets, and Willie Rushton & Barry Cryer.

Australian Darren Sanders, in addition to his stand-up fame, has been an extra in many Hollywood blockbusters. Among them, he has appeared with Jack Nicholson in Hoffa; Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston in The Bodyguard; Mel Gibson in Lethal Weapon 3; Robert Redford, Demi Moore and Woody Harrelson in Indecent Proposal; and Michael Douglas in Falling Down.
