Comedy Round-up: Top 3

That Mitchell & Webb Look

Ever-reliable sketches. Very clever and self-referential (there was a brilliant skit about having to write some misses, because every sketch show had to be hit and miss). And, thankfully, a lot less than usual of Webb's inexplicably popular tramp, "Digby Chicken Caesar".

Psychoville

The League Of Gentlemen hit the target again with a I Know What You Did Last Summer plot device as the salver on which they serve up a selection of their traditional obsessions... conjoined twins, serial killers, circus people, dangerous healthcare workers. It's like Fellini with gags.

The Chaser's War On Everything

An Australian version of Dom Joly's The Complainers or Balls Of Steel, it should be bloody awful. But when they tested whether people had learnt lessons from history by trying to deliver a wooden horse to various organisations, it had me in stitches. Mainly because Aussie security guards are so funny: "Hello, stage door? Fella here's got a fucken' great horse for ya." Notably, the only people who wouldn't let it in were at the Turkish consulate - possibly because the comic laid it on a bit thick by saying it was a gift from the Greeks!
