Debs & Errol was a Toronto, Ontario-based comedy, musical duo consisting of Deborah Isaac (on guitar, ukulele) and Errol Elumir (piano). They are known for performing geek music, originals and parodies, including songs about Totoro, [1] Star Wars, Star Trek, [2] Sherlock, [3] and other similar themes.
Their work has been featured on Wired's website [4] and their "Geek Love Song" was featured in a segment of CBC Radio's Here and Now (Toronto), for their Valentine's Contest, in February 2012. [5]
The band started when a mutual friend asked them separately to be musical acts in a geeky theatre showcase. They decided to pair up and started a website, social media, and T-shirts in one week. They write many songs that are funny and emphasize geeky topics. [6]
Debs & Errol announced their retirement on their website on 15 January 2015. [7]
They often make appearances at pop culture conventions, including performing at the Ottawa Comiccon, [8] being guests of honor at Orycon 35 [9] and the Ohio Valley Filk Festival. [10] They regularly perform at nontraditional music venues such as improv shows and geek theatre showcases. [11] [12]
Debs & Errol have a daily webcomic (except Sundays). Errol said, "That happened by accident, really. I wanted to put out a CD and I thought, foolishly, we could get it done in a short amount of time. Considering I had created the characters for our logo, I decided to do a daily comic so that people could keep coming back every day until the CD was done." [13]
Debs & Errol first met through National Novel Writing Month and have been huge supporters of the organization ever since. Since then, they have written a musical about NaNoWriMo, and Errol pens the NaNoToons, the webcomic for NaNoWriMo.
In 2012, Debs & Errol did a Project for Awesome video for NaNoWriMo, helping them win first place. [14] [15] [16]
In 2012, they successfully crowdfunded their first CD, Songs in the Key of Geek.
In 2013, they ran a successful Indiegogo Campaign to raise funds for their EP CTRL+ALT+DUETS.
