SNUFF BOX
The first episode of Snuff Box begins with a hanging, and this isn’t just a one-off event in the series. Matt Berry and Rich Fulcher star as a hangman and a hangman’s assistant, respectively, and much of the show centers around their profession and the gentlemen’s club where they go to while away time after work. Snuff Box may not be the darkest sketch comedy show ever made, but it’s certainly up there, and much of the show’s charm comes from its relaxed attitude towards death, sex, swearing and other taboos. Not only does the show take them lightly, it creates a sort of carnival around them, embracing material that could never make it on-air in America. Tickets!
