I wouldn't have thought so, unless, as I say, the sketch show is topical. When I was up there this week, a couple of comedians made an off the cuff comment about the riots, but we'd come to see their show, the one they'd been working on, not what they thought about the riots.

Totally agree with you Matt, I can't see any reason to do jokes about the riots. Unless you are doing a topical news revue style show.
