» Review: Pappy’s presents a world record attempt: 200 sketches in an hour

Kicking off the sketch group’s first UK tour since slimming down to a three-piece (and abridging their name), this show was fast-paced, as the title suggests. Now one man down, this did sometimes leave players puffing for breath as they dashed from one scene to another. Overall, though, this still had the old Pappy’s magic, prompting shrieks of laughter and
a euphoria akin to going to a really good kids’ party – when you were still a kid. There is joy in their anarchic world and the dynamic between them – brothers in heightened play, enjoying themselves immensely and happy to poke cruel fun but only at each other.
