Paul McDermott (Doug Anthony All Stars) and Steven Gates (Tripod) have been friends for 18 years, and have been singing together in private for five, but now It's time for them to share their extraordinary talents.
The pair is best known as the middle-men of two of Australia's greatest musical-comedy trios, Tripod and Doug Anthony All-Stars.
McDermott and Gates say they are bringing a unique act showcasing many "beautiful moments that out of nowhere turn into funny ones."
Their show will encase an evening of beauty, heartbreak and comical wit as the pair lock harmonies and minds for an unmissable performance showcasing uplifting prattle moments of self-deprecating wonder through witty, satirical lyrics.
"We love singing such beautiful lyrics and creating a moment that takes people's breath away and then undermining that moment with a joke, or vice versa," Mr Gates said.
Mr Gates said the show comprises beautiful songs and some improvised bickering between the pair.
"I think what we've come up with is a suite of pretty beautiful songs and in between those songs I just try to take Paul down a few notches," Mr Gates said.
"He's so aggressive, but that's his armour, he's the most sensitive person in the room.
"Paul is like one of those dolls where you pull its string, and it just keeps going."
Mr Gates said the duo is looking forward to playing in Dubbo.
"We understand Dubbo is going through a bit of a struggle at the moment, but there is always time for a laugh," he said. "Take a break if you can and come and watch something cool and enjoy being yelled at by an old man."
