The Nimmo Twins are a sketch comedy duo from Norfolk, UK comprising Owen Evans and Karl Minns.
[1] First working together in 1996 in Norwich, they came to national attention after their show Posh Spice Nude was a sell-out success at the 1997 Edinburgh Festival, and they became regulars on Radio 4's Loose Ends programme with Ned Sherrin.
The Nimmo Twins briefly expanded to a trio in 1999 with the introduction of Andrew McGibbon, who performed with them during the spring and summer of that year.
Their second series, The Rapid Eye Movement, about the troupe of actors performing a man's nightly dreams, starred Martin Freeman, Chris Langham and Kevin Eldon.
As a writer and performer, Minns has also contributed to two series of Russell Howard's Good News on BBC3, credited as Programme Associate alongside Dan Atkinson and Steve Williams.
Karl has been writing comedy professionally for nearly twenty years, also providing material for Loose Ends, Charlie Brooker, Unspun with Matt Forde, Al Murray the Pub Landlord and Have I Got News For You, amongst others.
