Meanwhile, It's Will & Greg

It's a shame that there weren't a few more laughs to be had during Meanwhile, It's Will & Greg, a new sketch show from comedians William Andrews and Greg McHugh. Admittedly, this was only the first offering, and there were hints of potential for future episodes, but as yet not enough of the material hits the mark.

Much was made in the pre-show publicity about how the comedy team was going to "explore the surreal and the absurd through characters and everyday situations", but it felt like the performers were trying just that little bit too hard to be offbeat and zany. The uneven editing between the studio-based sketches and those recorded in front of an audience also did the show no favours, often resulting in the applause sounding anything but enthusiastic.

Review: Meanwhile, It's Will and Greg

Will Andrews and Greg McHugh revive their Ugly Kid sketch talents for radio.

Brian Donaldson, The List, 6th January 2012

Will is William Andrews and Greg is Greg McHugh and here's their new late-night comedy show, exploring the surreal and absurd through characters and sketches. Some sketches are recorded in front of an audience in Glasgow, some are done just for the studio microphone but, as the aim is to get us to recognise Will and Greg as the centre of their own offbeat universe where the familiar suddenly becomes bizarre, we ought to feel at home wherever they lead us. Gavin Mitchell and Kirsten McLean are the supporting cast. First episode of three.
