Idiots of Ants are an English comedy sketch group consisting of comedians Benjamin Wilson, James Wrighton, Elliott Tiney and Andrew Spiers. They formed in November 2006 and are perform regularly on the London comedy circuit.

The 'Idiots' (or the 'Ants' as they are sometimes known) were awarded the Charlie Hartill Special Reserve grant in April 2007 by the Pleasance Theatre. This secured them a place at the Pleasance for the Edinburgh Festival.

Idiots of Ants made their Edinburgh Fringe Festival debut in 2007 performing at the Pleasance Courtyard. Their self-titled show completly sold out with extra shows having to be added.

On returning from Edinburgh they were signed by the Talent and Literary agency PFD.
