Bullett and Gunn

Bullett and Gunn

Bullett and Gunn was the irreverent musical incarnation of English comedy duo Brett Morton and Matthew Alford, which featured on the UK's comedy, festival and music circuits between 2003 and 2006, culminating in their Edinburgh Festival show, "The Massive Pop Explosion".

Reception

The comedy site Chortle described Bullett and Gunn as having "style and verve" with "professionalism to match much more experienced acts" but pointed out that "The Massive Pop Explosion" was mostly a rehash of their club set, even though the songs remained strong.

TV

Since quitting stage comedy in 2006, Morton has produced and presented two comedy series - "Live at the Adam and Eve" and "You Can't Say That" - on Red TV (Sky 180), for which Alford wrote and performed.

Origins

The name Bullett and Gunn was a reference to the double act Cannon and Ball, tongue-in-cheek due to the acerbic style of the younger pairing. Alford and Morton grew up together in the seaside holiday town of Torquay, which is known for putting on traditional acts like Cannon and Ball and Little and Large.
