After finding feet on reality show, sidesplitting twins plan to take their show on the road, Xing Wen reports.

For new players of mobile first-person shooting games, struggling with the controls is a common challenge. You might intend to pick up loot only to accidentally fire a round, trigger untimely emotes or gestures during intense moments, or even inadvertently take out your own teammates in the heat of battle.

Common blunders like these have been reproduced onstage by twins Gao Chao and Gao Yue on Tencent's comedy competition program Amazing Night.

Leveraging the advantage of being identical twins, they portray characters with the same in-game skin controlled by novice players, using striking body language to turn awkward moments into uproarious comedy.

Being twins makes them more recognizable to audiences compared to other budding comedians. Nevertheless, their identical looks have also imposed constraints when it comes to writing scripts.

Throughout the season, the pair have portrayed a range of characters, including an individual and his soul, twins with a unique connection that allows them to share sensations, and superpowered brothers born from gourds — the latter sketch drawing inspiration from the classic Chinese animated series Calabash Brothers.
