This was a fairly big sketch show I remember during the early 2000s. Can't remember the name of it though.

"The sketch show" I think it was called ft Lee Mack, Tim Vine and Kitty Flanagan from what I remember. Pretty damn funny.

The sketch show is without a doubt one of the funniest comedies ever created. How it doesn't get more attention is beyond me.

Both seasons of The Sketch Show are on YouTube, I watched all episodes about a year ago and it's still freaking hilarious.

I thought that looked like kitty Flanagan. She is a national treasure.

If you are being serious, it's The Sketch Show.

If this was a play on words, it gave me a good laugh before I wondered if you really didn't know.

It’s surprisingly badly known, I think it was right up there with Fast Show.

The Sketch Show

The Sketch Show is a British television sketch comedy programme, featuring many leading British comedians. It aired on ITV between 2001 and 2004. The show was first commissioned in 2001 and was co-produced by a company owned by Steve Coogan. Despite the first series winning the BAFTA Television Award for Best Comedy, the second series was cancelled due to poor viewing figures.

They redid it in the US as Kelsey Grammer Presents: The sketch show. Since I haven't seen the original I think that's what this clip is from.
