Jason Forbes, Phil Wang and George Fouracres came together to form the sketch group Daphne in 2014.[5] Daphne went on to win the London Sketchfest's prize for 'Best New Act' in 2015.[6] Their debut Edinburgh Festival Fringe show, Daphne Do Edinburgh, was critically acclaimed and the group was nominated for the 2015 Foster's (formerly Perrier) Award.[7]
In February 2016, the BBC announced that Daphne would be bringing a "Goon Show-esque" comedy to BBC Radio 4.[8]
