69 sketches in the space of an hour! Hyperactive comedy group Biscuit Barrel return to Brighton Fringe! A quickfire sketch show with a mechanical murderer on-the-loose - no character is safe! "Dropped something? Don't even think about picking it up as you may miss an entire sketch" The List. As featured on BBC Radio Bristol and Comedy Crowd TV, this time a copyright-friendly robotic threat from the future is tearing through the sketch show and killing every fictional thing in its path. It's on one brave and very confused detective to journey into the show and stop this menace before all the show's content is destroyed. High-octane humour that puts the speed of the internet onto a stage."Fast, slick and very funny." The Derek Awards The Barrel have also been seen at Edinburgh Fringe, Winchester Comedy Festival, Durham Fringe, Guildford Fringe and London Comedy Film Festival.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
