What do you find funny? Do you only know it when you see it? Does it change? Is it often stuff that makes you laugh out loud? Or is it mostly just a silent understanding, a connection formed between two opposing concepts?

This is a surreal sketch show unlike any other. Armando Iannucci, the mind behind such comedy vehicles as Alan Partridge, Veep, The Death of Stalin, and The Thick of It, confronts the human existence in a profoundly singular way.

Each of the eight episodes acts as a philosophical deconstruction of one core theme. These include: Perception, Work, Communication, Imagination, Time, People, Morality, and Reality.

These deep existential topics lend a mystical and profound energy to the show, and force one to see the absurdity of life in a rather unnerving way.

This isn’t even really a sketch show. It’s all one cohesive vision. A singular meditation on universal meaning from one Being’s mind to another. It’s a comedic lecture on life. A kind of David Attenborough style tour through the emotional reality of enduring the abstract and inane mundanity of human society.

This is philosophy, anthropology and art, all fused together by humour.
