Paper Bag Hats - Live Sketch Comedy

[@juliec3870]

The character development in this is better than most shows on television.

It looks like you're watching different actors for each character. Not just 3

This is officially my favourite sketch of you guys. It's incredibly well acted with an actual well thought-out story line and the switch between characters works brilliantly. You act it so well yet with just enough break in character to make it hilarious and show that you're human and everyone breaks down with humour. I'm so impressed lads. - Olly with the short hair in glasses, I've met you at Newcastle and the fringe .

[@Dollfaceyourfear]

This is the best celiac awareness video I've ever seen.

[@Alia-bc3rc]

I love how they're always using audiences as props. Good luck with your tours!

STEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEE

[@MauraMaudJadeit]

It's all amazing. The character development, the suspense, the drama... and the moment when you realize that Arms is probably losing it when pretending to cry.

[@icecranberry2148]

I love how Foil just starts laughing at Hog's prolonged beating of himself. I have a feeling it happens a lot that he overdoes a joke. It's funnier that way too.

[@alfa_kenny_body]

Bittles: *kills Sir Frederick over a sandwich* Me: A little overreacted there. Bittles: *dies because of two sips of lager* Me: Oh ok I see. Mary: yeah and by the way, he's your son. Me: *Shocked Pikachu face*
