Mitchell and Webb at the Footlights

A video I produced at a studio in Oxford in the Summer of 1995 featuring two comedy sketches enacted by David Mitchell and Robert Webb that they performed at The Cambridge Footlights show that year.

“Went forward two squares. Never managed that subsequently.” I love that a rule in chess can actually make a good joke.

D. Mitchell: Playing a terrible neurotic since 1995. "Playing?"

[@Pagliacci_Rex]

This seems like a precursor to their M&W look sketch about shooting people with bad grammar.

Mitchell writing sketches using concepts above the usual audience watcher whereas Webb resorting to using drunks for laughs. Basically how they continued on TV.

[@OracleTheRonin]

If you read the description you can see that Webb didn’t write either of these sketches, they were both David Mitchell.
