Next Level Sketch

With usual host Paul Creasy either missing or never having existed in the first place - we’re still figuring out which - James Walsh takes over the hosting reins.

This episode is slightly longer and more packed with jingles than usual, so we suggest you take a break at the 15 minute point to have a cup of tea, eat a biscuit, or stare at something primal like the sea or some goo.

Season 2 Episode 2 features sketches written by James Walsh, Paul Creasy, Shane Malone, Roderick Millar, Muireann Kelly, Zoe Browne, Nadine Bailey, Dan Smith and Ben Fortescue. Performing alongside them, at least metaphysically speaking, were Rachel Cader, Jess Carravick, Vic Dry, Kitty Dry, Greg Davies, Dr Ruth Martin, Euan Brown, Manisha Patel, Cody Whittaker, Rebecca Diez, Liv Long and Liam Brennan. The sloths were played by siamangs, a type of gibbon. James Walsh wrote all the jingles, and roped in Dr Ruth Martin to help sing them, and James Walsh wrote the theme tune, which was performed by James Walsh and Rebecca Diez.
