Sketch Please MARCH 2019

Recorded on our first May Bank holiday, we spend an inordinate amount of time discussing what doesn’t happen in the latest of Marvel’s Avengers franchise then everyone loses it, leading to some nail-biting editing retrospectively. See if you can spot the points where KK had to cut out these things:

* Rude jokes about Endgame
* Soho sex shops
* Post-party paranoia
* Bad things happening on good buses
* General descent into madness

Meet this month’s supremely nice performers:

Hannah Tarrington is an actor and comedy performer and has just joined the National Youth Theatre. On the side she helps businesses with their branding. She credits being a nice dickhead and winging it with her success. Follow @han_tarrington on Twitter or hannahalisontarrington@gmail.com for small business branding.

Sketch Please MAY 2019

Back with sketches about middle class problems, financially insolvent vampires and… bullshit, all from the minds of talented writers from the internet. 

Also from our cast: a heartwarming story about swinging in castles, homemade kefir, and a 7 minute exploration of Star Wars and historical geopolitics. It’s shambolic but quite informative, and we guarantee you will listen to this episode and think, “Ah, I listened to this episode.”

Presented by Katharine Kerr @katkerrradio 
Starring David Sylvester @dershapeshifter, Julie Flower @julieflower4 and Susan Cunningham.
