Quintessential Comedy | Devoted to British Comedy

The Friday night laugh fest that is The Kevin Bishop Show is a massive breath of fresh air from the former actor.

With
a fast-paced channel-hopping format (the pilot featured 42 sketches in
just 23 minutes), and a selection of recurring and fresh sketches each
week, Bishop has rewritten the sketch comedy genre.

Some of the regular sketches include:

• Video game adverts for the Fony Playbox,
advertising Wii-style games that are based on useless or unusual
activites, like anal sex and attracting a bartender’s attention.
• American remakes of British shows with stereotypical American twists. Such shows have included Last of the Summer Wine, Countdown, and Grange Hill.
• Movie trailers such as Dangerously High School Musical.
• R’n'B music videos which sees Bishop dress up as a stereotypical rapper
• News 25, a news channel based on BBC News 24.
• Nursery Crime Squad,
an apparent ITV drama about police arresting fairytale characters for
crimes such as blowing down the houses of three little pigs, and eating
Red Riding Hood.
• The Charmer, another ITV drama which
sees Bishop play a “ladies man” who often tries to charm a lady, yet is
unable to such things as get some more wine or put a condom on, which
results in him shouting “MUM!” very loudly.
• Free DVDs with The Daily Mail, such as ‘Classic Movie Twists Ruined’ and ‘Famous Last Words’.
• Adverts for perfumes by celebrities, like ‘Cheat’ by Ashley Cole and ‘Recession‘ by Gordon Brown.
• The Psycological Profiler which
sees Bishop as a detective investigating crime scenes and acting out
the incident. This always leads to him injuring and supposedly raping
his collegue

It’s top qualtiy stuff and certainly shouldn’t be missed; catch it every Friday night, Channel 4 at 10pm
