Looking forward, the partners aspire to further refine their craft, embark on a solo tour, and expand their influence through social media, and eventually perform on major stand-up comedy stages.

Sampson adds that audiences may experience significant stress in their lives, whether from work or family, and some might feel a bit depressed or unhappy. Comedy can bring joy to these groups, helping everyone loosen up.

"It is something our society needs. Comedy is the contribution we make to society," he says.

"Moreover, there's a saying in the UK, 'Comedy brings people together'. This is something that modern society truly needs."
