A new all-female sketch series featuring the writing and performing talents of four hotly tipped new comics - Alice Lowe, Sarah Kendall, Barunka O'Shaughnessy and Clare Thomson. The four comedy actresses write and perform all the material, introducing audiences to a broad range of characters and the peculiarities of their own imaginary world, like being robots, owning a magic bin and dating a duck. Recurring characters include rude South African airline hostesses Jadine and Marla; and the Sex In The City girls, who annoy everyone by misbehaving and acting childishly in a highstreet bar.
Tonight's double-bill kicks off with the girls as four Russell Brands busking for cash and fighting over some chicken in a bin.
In this show, the Rural Madonnas perform a lewd maypole dance; Queen Elizabeth I claims she's 'done it loads', as the virgin jibes fly; and Sarah manages to pop out both her eye-balls to prove a point about novelty jokes.
The four George Michaels get up to some mischief in the park; Clare gets a special robot; Marilyn Monroe applies for a job flipping burgers; and we enter the not so fragrant world of the flatulent Geishas.
This time round the four Amy Winehouses launch a rescue mission, Charlie's Angels style; the obnoxious South African air hostesses are back to foil a hijack attempt; Barunka and Sarah drill a peephole through to the boys toilets and we see what makes the Sex and the City cast really tick.
Abba get the Beehive treatment, Alice catches a fatal dose of boy germs, Nicole Kidman pops up with a dirty song and The Elephant Man has Sky+ issues with his flatmate Emma.
