Cardinal Burns

Cardinal Burns is a British television sketch show starring Seb Cardinal and Dustin Demri-Burns. After a pilot on BBC Three, the first series began on 8 May 2012 on E4, before moving to Channel 4 in 2014 for the second series. In 2014 and 2015, it was also performed as a live stage show in London.

Cardinal and Demri-Burns met at film school in Edinburgh, Demri-Burns two years below Cardinal. Having made short films together at film school, when they both moved to London, they began making comic short films together. Some of their work at the time was funded by Scottish Screen.

Demri-Burns, Cardinal and another friend from university became a live comedy trio named Fat Tongue. They performed at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe at The Pleasance, where they were nominated for the if.comedy award (previously known as the Perrier).

The duo say they were influenced by The League of Gentlemen and Human Giant.

The first series was shown on E4.

Recurring characters included The Office Flirt, a pair of Cockney cabbies, and a middle-class spoken word poet, alongside parodies of Banksy and "scripted reality" programmes such as The Hills and Made in Chelsea.[citation needed]

Ensemble cast members for this series were Bridget Christie, James Puddephatt, Ronnie Lushington, Aisling Bea, Fiona Button, Lucinda Dryzek, Jeff Wode, Simon Coombs, Ayuk Marchant, Clare Warde, William Hartley, Terence Maynard and Travis Oliver.[citation needed]

Cardinal Burns was renewed by Channel 4 for a second series in September 2012. The Commissioning Editor was Rachel Springett. On 10 May 2013, Channel 4 confirmed that the show would move from E4 to Channel 4.
