    Hilarious and a breath of fresh air

    In the UK, and the world, we're all lucky to enough to have experienced different cultures in one way or another. Finally we have the first sketch show celebrating Black British culture since The Real McCoy ended in 1996. The parodies and stereotypes of cultures in this show are spot on and hilarious.

    Moses Mountree is by far the funniest and he could have a show all to himself. Some sketches, as with any sketch show, may miss the mark, but on the whole this is thoroughly enjoyable. At 20 mins an episode, it's the perfect show to jump in and out of.

    Belly Laughs

    Funny, funny stuff. The outtakes from this show must be brilliant because I don't know how they get through some of the sketches with a straight face. The satire doesn't stop, especially when one line can take down three stereotypes. Super talented folks relentlessly delivering the goods.

    Comedy?

    Stuff for idiots made by idiots! As funny as dysentery in the desert.

    Brilliant!

    Excellent show!! Best thing since the real McCoy's

    Really funny

    This sketch show is refreshing and new approach in a recognisable sketch show format. Midsummer Murders is hilarious with a Shaft type character in Midsummer Murders. Nigerian TV is alsohilarious. I was in histerics all the way through the first two episodes. Asks some relevant questions about attitudes towards black people but in a way that makes you laugh out loud. Highly recommended.
