The Mayor and His Daughter: A Genuine Appreciation of Comedy
The Mayor and his Daughter are in crisis. The soul of their beloved village is in tatters, besieged by the demonic forces of modern Britain. But there’s a light in the darkness; when they discover a sacred tome - a boxset of Russell Howard’s Good News (Series 2) - they make it their mission to repair the fractured community with laughter, by putting on the best sketch comedy show they can imagine.

A Genuine Appreciation of Comedy is a chaotic, meta, performance art mash-up of sketches, songs and occult rituals harvested from classic comedic tropes, reinvented in a unique style - The Krankies meets The Wicker Man. It’s a timely exploration of Englishness in the current crisis of national identity which will make you question the rules of sketch comedy like never before.

Directed by Joz Norris (Edinburgh Comedy Award Longlist)
Produced by Rosie Nicholls (Grubby Little Mitts)
