The first, second, and third Noel

The trio behind Kiwi comedy act The Four Noels – James Pratt, John Forman, and Jesse Griffin – interviewed in SMH. The group formed in 1996, without any strictly comic ambitions. “We just wanted to create theatre that people would be excited by, and want to come along and see. And it happens to be funny,” says Griffin. The Four Noels are regular participants at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival – where they have twice been nominated for awards – and were crowd favourites at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. They also perform frequently on Australia’s Triple J radio.
