Eyre-Leigh Doors
Comedians Pauline Eyre and Louise Leigh use their famous Dimension Matrix (or Dominatrix, aka The Salad Spinner of Destiny) to give their guests the chance to visit other dimensions and choose one to live in forever.
Eyre-Leigh Doors is a comedy game show/chat show mash up that gives guests the chance to talk about their hopes and dreams, their embarrassing moments, their greatest triumphs and the people they would - and wouldn't - like to share them with if they had their chance.
Guests have the chance to choose just one dimension to live in - one door to walk through. But the catch is, they don't get to hear all the options before they choose! Will they opt to relive their worst ever day but spend it with their heroes? Or achieve their wildest professional goals in the company of Nobby Nosepicker from school? It's a case of Choose it or Lose it!
Pauline and Louise met in early 2020 when they shared a midlife comedy moment - one of the last shows before the Corona Virus. It took a year of chatting and developing an entirely different set of ideas before settling on this fun format. Both took up comedy in midlife, and bring a richness of life experience - and silliness - to the table.
"Such fun to do! A really ace format" Mark Olver
"Dynamite!" Stu Goldsmith
