Brian McElhaney and Nick Kocher grew up near each other in Atlanta but only became a sketch comedy duo while attending NYU together. As BriTANicK, they've made viral videos for YouTube, Cracked, CollegeHumor and Funny or Die, catapulting them onto Variety's 10 Comics to Watch list in 2013. They've acted together How I Met Your Mother, Much Ado About Nothing, and the indie comedy film Balls Out; they've written together for Saturday Night Live, as well as It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and The Goodwin Games. They've been the voices of the Cartoon Network. And now in the summer of 2022, 14 years after they first took to the comedy stages of New York City, they're back performing live once more, taking their best sketches to the Edinburgh Fringe festival. But first, they sat with me to talk about their journey.
