Today pubs in England reopen - or the bits outside them do - so to celebrate here is an episode of sketch comedy set in a pub!

We at Next Level Sketch have somehow reached our THIRD SEASON; please ignore the fact our second season was only four episodes long - it had a good run. This season we’re trying something a little different, and are setting our episodes within coherent geographical comic universes. This week and next we are at SupaBuy, a supermarket populated by robot automatic checkouts, eccentric cashiers, intense security guards, and very dangerous trolleys. Please leave us a review if you liked the episode - it really helps us reach a larger audience! And you can find us at nextlevelsketch.com and @nextlevelsketch.

The first Next Level Sketch podcast episode of 2021 comes almost a year to the day on from our first ever live performance, which actually feels more like 8,000 years ago. Oh well!

All details for upcoming shows and episodes will be on nextlevelsketch.com and on our Twitter @nextlevelsketch.

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum from the next level Sketch collective in this most piratical of seasons… if you believe that Jesus was a pirate, which I personally do. All the evidence is there: the enormous parrot He wore on his shoulder at all times, the ludicrous obsession with buried treasure, the scurvy outbreak in Nazareth... We have a lovely Christmas episode for you all to enjoy. Please sit back, grab yourself a class of rum or a chocolate sprout, and listen intently. We’re back with live shows at The Miller in London Bridge next year. Our first show is 26th January, and then the last Tuesday of the month thereafter.
