Canary Wharf, United Kingdom

This appears to be the show that was on here in September, after the Edinburgh Festival Fringe ended.

I'm teching the MCAs again! Hope you all get to come along, or stream on the night or afterwards! 🌈

You do, it's just not physical

I have a memory of seeing this as kid (in the 80s).

In/around watching the final episodes of Last One Laughing UK season two.

Which are your favourite venues to perform at, and why?

You prefer to illegally steal than 'sponsor'? 🤔

Richard Davis are you talking about SNL UK or Mock The Week, sorry?

Of course Sky weren't going to make SNL UK, nor TLC with Mock The Week, available for free when they first premiere. Both are commercial organisations, not charities or public-funded broadcasters.

By putting clips or the whole shows on YouTube, Sky/TLC are not making them available for free. YouTube will pay them, and that will relate to either YouTube Premium subscriptions or YouTube ads shown, when the videos are watched on that platform.

It wasn't amazing, but it was as good as it needed to be, and it will improve.

My favourite sketches were Shakespeare's Return (modernised Hamnet parody), The Last Supper (fun ensemble) and Undérage (turning an observation into a sketch), plus Tina's intro.

The UK Weekend Update didn't have the banter of the current US version with Michael and Colin (where they often screw each other over by writing some of each other's lines without revealing them until the live show), but that may develop with Ania and Paddy over time. There were some good jokes in there, nevertheless.

I was disappointed there were no songs/musical sketches, as I figured that's why Annabel Marlow had been added to the cast.

I thought Hammed's David Lammy was very forgettable, but the Boovies Goes To The Films sketch was good.

I'm intrigued to see if George will get 45 seconds at the end of every show. His Starmer impression was better than his Attenborough.

I thought the Paddington sketch needed more meat on the bone, ironically.

The swearing (compared to the US show) give it a bit more bite.
