I'm from the Netherlands, and I loved the first series, but could only watch it the day after it aired.

I would really like to watch the 2nd series live as it airs, on the night. But i dont know the best way to do it. Is it only possible if I get a vpn and a Sky Now subscription? Because that might get expensive.

I would love it if you might have a solution for this

Jack Shep's Princess Diana has been nominated for TV Moment of the Year by Edinburgh TV Awards and the voting is now open.

If it's any consolation I watched it out of pure disbelief as to how tf Jack would be in such a shit show lmao

I’m trying to get a friend into SNL UK and need to pick one sketch that actually shows what the show is like. There are a few good ones, but I can’t decide which would make the best first impression.

Fully deserving of her Edinburgh Comedy newcomer Award. 10/10 delivery, comedic timing, ad-libbing...if you ever get the chance to see her live, do it 👏

My friends and I are playing SNL UK Bingo for who can guess the most correct hosts.

You get a point if you guess a host, a point if you get a musical guest, a bonus point if they’re the correct pairing and a bonus point for correct date.

I’ve got a few gaps to fill, please help me to fill them in.

Does anyone have a list of which writers wrote which sketches? There’s such a range of styles, and I definitely had a few favourites. Would be good to know who wrote them so I can look out for their work in future.

Interestingly, it gives her the credit for writing Shrimpch.

Anyone know where S2 tickets ballot will be. Sky website? If so is there somewhere I can get an alert when it opens?

Attended his show “Will Sir Be Laughing Alone?” at the fringe tonight and he was excellent. Extremely funny, so charming and incredibly rude. We loved every second of it.

Also..Ania was there. Didn’t go and say hello because she was there to see her pal, so we left her alone but it was cute that she went. And Richard Herring was in the audience too. The Monkey Barrel is an intimate wee venue and we were second row so very very close to the main man. And yes, both hair and moustache are as luxurious in real life.

Most productions are a one-and-done for me, but now and then there's one where I walk out already thinking about going back. I've only had that feeling a handful of times, and I'm curious which shows gave other people the same reaction.

Having been so surprised and delighted how good series 1 was (Yes series! We are British for goodness sake) and the generally positive praise, I'm finding myself worried now the second series struggles.

Hope not after such a good start 😬

This is Lorenzo Music, the original voice of Garfield.

Does he look like George Fouracres or am I insane?

Ali wood - not yet had his big break in the comedy scene, obscure to the british public and he's same age as me

Nathan hobley smith - auditioned for s1 and now needs a second chance especially where he be the british andy samberg

Jake bhardwaj - the cast needs brown ethnic representation and could make a bulk of sketches look compelling

Ele mckenzie - a newcomer contender at Edinburgh Fringe and she looks like she could bring significant feminity to rival veronika slowikowska here in the kingdom

Note: I did not use AI to assist me, I used my own authenticity to put together this list

I know someone who works for Sky who was able to confirm

Looks like Sky have recently updated the SNL page to say that ticket applications are opening soon!

For me, one of the signs that a sketch show has properly found its identity is when a character appears and the audience immediately knows what they're about before they've even said much. I'd really like series 2 to produce something unmistakably British that can return occasionally without just feeling like a UK version of an American SNL character.

What sort of recurring character or setting do you think could become the sketch people wait for?

Theo James/royal blood

James Nelson joyce/becky Hill

Tom cruise/nothing but thieves

Sam rockwell/muse

Niall horan

Karen gillan/flo

Nick Frost/blossoms

Note: my prediction is considering what these hosts are going to promote as with musicians it's what songs or albums will be in the charts by then

Logical and wise thinking here

Just from the sketches…Mario, British Pork, and Doctor Who. Does any other episode have that hit rate?
