Original, rude and at times, just a bit odd, We Are Klang are set to pick up where The Young Ones and The League of Gentleman have left off. Bursting into the Edinburgh Festival in 2004, Greg Davies, Steve Hall and Marek Larwood scooped the Spirit of the Fringe award, and have been unstoppable ever since.
