Emmy®-nominated sketch duo BriTANicK (Brian McElhaney and Nick Kocher) have written for Saturday Night LiveIt’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and then a bunch of other less popular shows. They were named Variety’s “Top 10 Comics to Watch,” their sketch comedy videos have amassed over 100 million views online, and they have performed sold-out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe, the Soho Theatre, Montreal’s JFL Festival, and all over the U.S.

Brian McElhaney and Nick Kocher

Brian McElhaney and Nick Kocher are very serious about making silly videos. They only make them when they have a good idea. It’s a terrible business model. They perform regularly at Edinburgh Fringe Comedy Festival and also tour with Stamptown.

Together, they have acted in How I Met Your Mother, Balls Out, Searching For Sonny, and Joss Whedon’s Much Ado About Nothing. They wrote for the FOX TV show The Goodwin Games, made a pilot for Comedy Central, and wrote a time travel movie for Lionsgate. Their short film Eagles Are Turning People Into Horses screened in the 2010 Slamdance and SXSW film festivals. They were the voices of Cartoon Network for six years.

They have written for Saturday Night Live and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

BriTANicK is the name they decided to perform under and now it’s too late to change it.
