The Funny Tonne

Hot Department

Hot Department

    

Hot Department are well known for their ridiculous and riotous sketch comedy performances, with an excited and sometimes terrified intake of breath going around an audience when they are announced on a bill. 

Their new self-titled performance is nothing less than this duo doing what they do best, with filthy, grotesque, but sometimes utterly heartwarming sketches being presented. 

Highlights from the show included a group "happy birthday" singing exercise, Woman Sits on Chair (a deeply moving piece) and an incredibly attention-seeking number about attention. 

This was an extremely engaging and bonkers showcas of sketch comedy that puts Hot Department up amongst some of the best.
