Ellie & Natasia

I love both Ellie and Natasha as people in the media. They are both great actresses who seem to have funny bones. They are always a good laugh on panel shows and pod casts as well. Ellie's appearance on House of Games inspired me to watch this. However, this sketch show was an abomination. It is like neither of them have ever seen a sketch show before, or any comedy at all. Being such short episodes, I pushed through to the end, waiting in vain for a punchline. A punchline never came. I can honestly say I didn't laugh once, or even raise a smirk. It is like the whole show was made by AI. I have given two stars and not one due to the production values of the songs. Good songs, no gags included alas.

After their fantastic pilot I was seriously looking forward to Ellie White & Natasia Demetriou's full show and it doesn't disappoint. The two have this brilliantly confident foolishness about them that's utterly irresistible. The little 15 minute-episode series isn't messing about, and often will just have little clutters of stock photos for no reason or the two of them standing around bored in inexplicable costumes. It doesn't feel like it wastes a second of time and some of the sketches have these gloriously weird twist punchlines which imbue the whole endeavour with a strong sense of "we're doing this for the sole reason that it makes us laugh". I would definitely recommend this as a first time succulent.

Ellie is a passable actress, not gifted at comedy and ND got lucky with shadows but literally everything else she's hideous in, whether it's on countdown or the awful stath let's flats she's just awful. Unfunny and just woefully inept. This show is utter garbage.

My God, words almost fail me. This is so bad... But that is completely to undersell just how embarrassing and shameful this programme is. Is somebody at the BBC going out with a giant butterfly net catching posh girls and forcing them to write "comedy"? Because it seems like nobody involved with this production had ever heard a proper joke in their lives. Could daddy not have got them a job down at the hedge fund factory or wherever he works? There is so much of this kind of diversity-hire flimflam on the BBC now. Watching "Live at the Apollo" is akin to being beaten on the head with a mallet for an hour. This dreck is more like an axe than a mallet.

If you're a fan of Stath lets flats etc you will love this. Ignore some of these ridiculous reviews that are more a criticism of the BBC than the show.

I watched this when it first aired and still reference some of their lines. The humour is surreal and absurdist at times but still holds the values of a traditional sketch show with some hilarious cameos to look out for.
