It’s one of those overlooked TV shows on Central, airing on a Thursday night at 11.30pm.
It’s one of those unknown TV shows that may garner a blank look when you mention it to your colleagues.
But it’s also one of those brilliant comedies that draw you in from the word “go”.
The Sketch Show is 30 minutes of pure unadulterated British humour experience, filled with wit that hits you left of the centre. Written and performed by 5 insane folks, it is art at its best and entertainment at it finest.
It is 30 minutes of short sketches that satirises anything and everything from travelling chess sets to airport security. It doesn’t even matter that you’re not British, so long as you haven’t just emerged from under a rock and are completely oblivious to pop culture.
For a generation raised by MTV, you will find the Sketch Show catering to your short attention span. Not only that, nothing will be missed, even if you decide to switch on your TV set only at 11.45pm. (But why would you? The fun starts at 11.30pm!)
True, you may not get to know the actors like you would your Chandlers and Phoebes, but it’s hardly a bad deal when you get at least 10 standalone comedic acts and 5 actors playing 30 different characters. (The make-up and costume changes alone would suffice as entertainment.)
So you know where I’ll be on Thursday nights – watching a father try to tell his daughter a bedtime story about Freddie Krueger, and experiencing the first landing on the Moon – Sketch Show style.
