A Guaranteed Connection

Smithy; Billericay’s Finest
Nothing says Essex like the legendary bond between Gavin Shipman and Smithy. From the heart of Billericay, these two brought us the best of British comedy—from long-distance love to Smithy’s iconic “curry order” rants.
Capturing James Corden’s unmistakable energy as Smithy was a must! Whether he’s crashing Gavin’s family dinner or halting Nessa and Dave’s wedding in a dramatic church showdown, Smithy is the ultimate “Essex Boy.” In this Smithy caricature, he’s holding a tap that Nessa gave him for Christmas, lol.
From Billericay to Barry Island: ‘Well Lush’ Art for Your Essex Wedding.
Nessa Jenkins Caricature
I won’t lie to you”—capturing the legendary Nessa Jenkins was a must! Played by co-writer Ruth Jones, Nessa is the ultimate straight-talking contrast to Smithy’s Essex energy. From her days trucking for Eddie Stobart to her “all-action” romance with Smithy (toilet brush included!), she’s a character of mystery and “tidy” one-liners.
Whether she’s eyeing up a new whip at a wedding fayre or telling Stacy, “What’s occurring?”, Nessa brings a unique brand of care-free chaos. My Nessa Jenkins caricature celebrates her deadpan charm and iconic style, and her secret love for Smithy! Pinching a phrase from Nessa, I put my soul into every event I attend to ensure the laughter is always 100% authentic and “lush!”
Truth be told: The most ‘Tidy’ entertainment in Essex.
