The Show
A supreme double-bill featuring stand-out acts The Real MacGuffins and Matt Lacey, presenting 40 minutes of their finest sketch comedy. Following highly acclaimed, sell-out appearances at Edinburgh, Brighton, Bath and Leicester Comedy Festivals the Real MacGuffins present a brand new show for Sketchfest 2014!
Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. Those who can't teach, do a comedy show set in a school. Those is Matt Lacey. With two critically-acclaimed years of sketch shows under his belt with The Unexpected Items and double-act Mythbunking, and over seven million views on Youtube (search 'Gap Yah'), award-winning actor and comedian Matt Lacey presents his debut solo show; a smorgasbord of comic characters with some satire, some silliness and some shouting (not too much, just in case you have sensitive ears).
