About Grubby Little Mitts
Grubby Little Mitts is a domestic-horror sketch comedy double act featuring Rosie Nicholls & Sullivan Beau Brown.
Rosie and Sullivan met at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School where they trained as actors.
In 2022 the Grubbs wrote their debut two hander sketch comedy show and won The Amused Moose Comedy Award for Best Debut Sketch Show. They have since performed all over the country to sell out audiences at Soho Theatre, Glasgow Comedy Festival, Norwich Theatre Royal, Komedia Brighton and more.
In 2024 Grubby Little Mitts were invited to perform at the Leicester Comedy Festival Preview Gala at De Montfort Hall, where they performed their Piss Finale sketch to a sold out crowd of 1500 people.
Nicknamed “The White Stripes of comedy” (Reviews Hub) their material is rooted in the recognisable, yet traverses into strange realities where the normal rules of engagement do not apply. Using slapstick, sitcom and surrealism to point the finger at the every day, the Grubbs successfully make the innocent seem uncomfortable with a healthy dose of silliness, sound design and a bright red aesthetic screaming from filthy, handmade props.
In 2024, Grubby Little Mitts carried out the single most successful crowdfunding campaign in the world for any Edinburgh Fringe show.
Outside sketch comedy, Rosie and Sullivan are part of the core cast on the popular YouTube channel No Rolls Barred (350K subscribers), with the two flagship shows Board Game Club and House Rules gathering over a million views every month. Grubby Little Mitts also produce the bi-monthly WIP sketch comedy night Sketch Book for sketch, character and clown comedy acts to try their new material in front of a sketch-loving crowd - featuring some of the best alternative comedians currently on the scene.
