    • 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, Star Wars, Star Trek, Sherlock, and other similar themes.
    Their work has been featured on Wired's website 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.


    History


    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.
    Debs & Errol announced their retirement on their website on 15 January 2015.


    Public Performances


    They often make appearances at pop culture conventions, including performing at the Ottawa Comiccon, being guests of honor at Orycon 35 and the Ohio Valley Filk Festival. They regularly perform at nontraditional music venues such as improv shows and geek theatre showcases.

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."
