It's Grimm Up North preview

Once upon a time, there were only stand-ups and sketch shows. That was, until the knight in shining armour, Hardbody Productions, came along. Inspired by fairytales, fables and films, they found themselves brandishing more than enough material for their particular blend of cartoon humour and parody.
