Six idiots

The group of six British actors who started out working in Horrible Histories and then created/wrote the film Bill and the series Yonderland and BBC Ghosts.

They are Ben Willbond, Mat Baynton, Larry Rickard, Simon Farnaby, Jim Howick and Martha Howe-Douglas.
Their company is called them there.

They are very funny and only stayed together because they "didn't want to stop acting like six year olds"- one of them. Their work is very inclusive, with a lot of their characters being gay and having transgender representation.

Their individual Twitters are very entertaining. For example, Ben posted a picture with Larry where they tried to sneak into a film festival and then they were caught, escorted away by security and both got covid.
Person 1: who are those very attractive actors?
Person 2: oh they're the six idiots and you are correct, they are attractive.
Person 1: why do I feel like I'm gonna end up watching all their stuff and becoming a huge fan?
Person 2: because you are. There is no escaping it.
