United Thingdom

Recognisable characters from the four corners of the UK, performed by a British Lions of comic talent, welcome to an exploration and celebration of our shared United Thingdom.

A knockout sketch show that truly covers all corners of the UK. Featuring a cracking team of comedy performers and writers drawn from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Showcasing recognisable comic characters navigating modern life and lampooning contemporary culture. Raising big laughs from what unites and divides us. Tackling universal issues and having great fun in all the nooks and crannies of the nations and regions.

Presented and narrated by four co-anchors from across the UK. Each one flying the flag for their bit of the flag. Mixing sketches, quickies, one-liners, songs, spoofs, skits and send-ups.

Mining material from shared UK lived experience and celebrating a proliferation of perspectives. Recorded before a live audience in Glasgow. Starring Diona Doherty, Paul G Raymond, Tudur Owen, Lana Pheutan and Karen Bartke. A British Lions of comic talent.

Hilarity comes with the territory. It’s a Thingdom thing.
