This is probably one of the best live shows I have seen on TV, one of my favourite sketch shows performed live at the Apollo Theatre. They perform classic sketches as well as one or two new ones. If you have ever seen The Fast Show, then you would know all actors and characters. Paul Whitehouse plays Unlucky Alf, Ken (Suit You!), Arthur Atkinson, Chris Jackson (I'll Knick It), Ron Manager, Jed Tucker (Arse!), The 13th Duke of Wybourne, Ted, favourite Rowley Burkin and many more. Charlie Higson plays Johnny Nice Painter, the lovers, favourite Swiss Toni, Colin Hunt, Bob Fleming, Ralph, Mickey Disco and many more. Arabella Weir plays No Offense, Insecure Woman and a lesbian professor. Simon Day plays Billy Bleach, Tommy Cockles, Dave Angel Eco Warrior, Monkfish, favourite Cal Hooper and many more. John Thomson plays The Actor (Six hours in makeup), Louis Balfour (Jazz Club), Chip the Stuntman and many more. Mark Williams plays Kenneth (Suit You!), Jesse, The Headmaster and many more. Many other good actors as well in an excellent live sketch show. Very good!

This is my personal favourite when it comes to sketch shows, yes it's even better than Python, not as crazy but definitely funnier. I had the great pleasaunce of seeing The Fast Show Live and for fans of the show, seeing it live is so much funnier as the experiment whilst there on stage and have a bit more freedom to elaborate on the sketches.
With classics like 'suits you' and 'rowley birkey q.c' and 'ron manager' this is probably the best of their live shows and to top it all off they give you a massive wad of my favourite 'Arthur Atkinson'....'mmmm fish and chinkers'...'wheres me washboard?'

The genious of the Fast Show put onto stage - magical!

Okay, genious. The Fast Show Live is a work of genious. The writers of the TV show (ie Paul Whitehouse, and Charlie Higson & co.) have taken their characters from the confines of a strict television script, and brought them to life on stage.
With well loved characters such as "The 2 Kens" and "Colin Hunt" brought to life on stage, with the occasional ad-lib making it even funnier, more risque humour, and audience participation, it is a must see for all Fast Show fans.
