Sketch shows; they're a genre within a genre. Don't know your Dead Parrots from your Local Shops?

From the deliciously dark to the deliriously silly, there's a sketch show to suit all tastes. So if you fancy a break from a lonely comic moaning in a dark room, here's five top sketch shows to take in at the Fringe.
