A Harry Enfield impersonator and his friend made headlines last weekend after the pair impersonated 90s sitcom stars Kevin and Perry at a music festival and were filmed in character 'avin it large in a field.
They went viral after a clip shared widely online showed the pair raving at County Durham’s Hardwick Live Festival last weekend - and now it looks like they're about to do it all again, this time in Leeds.
It's been revealed the duo will be coming to Leeds club night Quids In for a special Ibiza party, where they'll be donning their outfits once again for a special Kevin and Perry tribute DJ set.
Hosted at nightclub Pryzm, the pair will be in full costume and character playing all the classics from the cult 00s movie, including Fatboy Slim's Love Island and the iconic hit Big GIrl by Precocious Brats (better known as All I Wanna Do Is Do It).

As the club night name suggests, it's literally a quid in here before 11 pm, with the doors to Pryzm open from 10 pm. On top of that, drinks at the bar start from just £1.50 - making it one of the cheapest nights out in Leeds.
Taking place on Bank Holiday Monday (30 August), this not to be missed night will span over three rooms with the Kevin and Perry lookalikes performing on the main stage.
Elsewhere, there'll be RnB and hip-hop playing in the club's intimate Curve room and a throwback indie room playing everything from The Kooks to The Courteeners for guitar music fans in the disco area.
Sharing the news of their mega booking, organisers Voodoo Events said:
"Have you seen this viral video? We’ve spent the last 24 hours trying to track these guys down…
"Guess who’s found them & booked them for a Ibiza Rave DJ set this Monday at Quids In! Quids In Goes LARGE!!! Ibiza Rave hosted by Kevin & Perry*. #AllIWannaDoIsDoIt #QuidsInGoesLarge
"*we know they look like the real thing, but this is a tribute act"

Yorkshire Wildlife Park shares major update after man killed in tiger attack
Yorkshire Wildlife Park has shared an update this afternoon, after a man died in a horrifying tiger attack at the zoo yesterday.
The wildlife park, which remains closed today, has informed customers of the future of the tiger involved, Altai.
Emergency services rushed to the park near Doncaster at around 1.30pm on Saturday, after reports of a man climbing into the tiger enclosure.
Tragically, the man involved in the tiger attack lost his life.
The zoo has said that its 'thoughts and heartfelt sympathies' remain with the man's family and loved ones.
They also said that its staff team have been left 'deeply affected' by the tiger attack and will be receiving specialist support.
Yorkshire Wildlife Park has now shared that Altai, the male tiger in question, is 'safe and well' and will not be euthanised as a result of the incident.
In a statement, they said: "We would like to thank everyone who has expressed their concern following yesterday's tragic incident.
"Our thoughts and heartfelt sympathies remain with the family and loved ones of the man who sadly lost his life.
"The park will be closed today while the staff team who were deeply affected by events receive specialist support.
"Many, many people have contacted us about Altai, the tiger. We can reassure everyone that he is safe and well and will not be euthanised as a result of this incident."
Leeds City Council confirms plans to repair historic Lower Kirkgate with work set to begin this month
Clementine Hall
Leeds City Council has confirmed that work to stabilise buildings on Lower Kirkgate is set to begin later this month, with repairs expected to take around 20 weeks to complete.
Back in 2024, Lower Kirkgate in Leeds city centre was closed following the partial collapse of a building, leaving one of the city's oldest streets inaccessible.
Since then, the street has remained closed while plans were developed to address the structural issues affecting the buildings.
Now, almost two years after the initial incident, the council has confirmed that a contractor has been appointed to carry out the work.
The buildings are privately owned, but Leeds City Council says it will step in to carry out the stabilisation work to prevent further deterioration and protect the historic properties.

A spokesperson for Leeds City Council said: “We are pleased that, following months of careful planning and preparation, we are now in a position to begin stabilising these privately owned buildings.
“A contract has been awarded for the work, which is scheduled to get under way later this month and is expected to take around 20 weeks to complete.
“It should be stressed that the situation on Lower Kirkgate is not of the council's making, with the owners of the buildings allowing their condition to deteriorate over many years and then failing to take the necessary steps to address the resultant structural issues.
“By stepping in and carrying out this work itself, the council will be able to arrest the deterioration of important heritage assets on one of Leeds’s oldest streets. As always, we thank the local community for their continued patience and support.”
Further details about the work, including when the street may be able to reopen, have not yet been confirmed.
