Mitchell & Webb Situation, The

David Mitchell and Robert Webb's riotous comedy show, The Mitchell and Webb Situation, gushes forth an hilarious stream of surreal and quirkily inventive sketches self-penned by the talented duo. Originally made for UKTV’s much missed channel, Play uk, its cult success catapulted the stars into their acting roles in Channel 4's hugely successful – and Bafta-nominated – Peep Show.

With their comedy-writing developed as members of the prestigious Cambridge Footlights group (where past performers include Peter Cook, John Cleese and Stephen Fry), and honed with a series of two-man shows on the Edinburgh Fringe, Mitchell and Webb have continued to shell out pure comedy gold.

Directed by David Kerr (Cutting It and the star-studded Reeves and Mortimer sketch show, Monkey Trousers), The Mitchell and Webb Situation also features Peep Show regular Sophie Chapman (Olivia Coleman) and a host of young, British comedy talent.
