Comedians Giving Lectures
Synopsis
Three leading comedians are invited to give short lectures in a lecture theatre, on subjects (ostensibly) of Sara Pascoe's choice.
The entertainment is entirely in the lectures, and we're reminded of Jeremy Hardy and Mark Steel's efforts on the radio in the 1990s, or an inverse of The Unbelievable Truth. Indeed, the whole show comes across as a radio show with visuals, which might not be to everyone's taste.
There is just enough of a game show element to pass this site's muster, as the prepared lectures are marked by specialists in the field, and also by the audience, and the highest combined score wins.
Like Dave's Hypothetical earlier in the year, don't watch this show for the game. Watch it for the comedy brilliance.
Key moments
Pascoe's (rather fanciful) suggestion that we need only wait three minutes for the adverts to be over. Try more than six…
