A Plane Old Sketch Show is a show that is entirely gimmick free. It has grown bored of the usual tropes and tricks of sketch shows at the moment and aims to provide a show that is entirely free of artifice and silly stunts. Except it is entirely set on a plane. But beyond that the show promises to be a simple sketch show, combining irreverence and wit from the troupe described by Broadway Baby as “terrifying brilliant”. Cambridge Footlights Friso de Graaf and Gabriel Barton-Singer return to the Corpus Playroom following the success of their hit show No Funny Business to provide an hour of mirth, merriment and the world’s most ridiculous puns.

Simon Hall, comedy writer, TV icon and national treasure, finds himself arrested under suspicion of never having told a joke. This sketch show follows his fall from grace through the medium of his past sketches, presented as memories and evidence for his defence. No Funny Business asks tough questions of the audience, such as are these sketches funny? Who is Simon Hall? And is this all a veiled criticism of Morecambe and Wise? This offbeat, witty and original show highlights the boundaries of comedy culminating in the comedy Trial of the Century!

This dark but witty comedy sketch show tells the story of Simon Hall - national treasure and comedy legend. Allegations have been made that back in the 1970s he was not actually funny at all. Sketches are memories and form evidence in a show that culminates in a comedy trial!
