The Lawrence Sweeney Mix

The only drawback to this second series of improvised comedy recorded in front of an audience is the same as the drawback to the first - you can't see Josie Lawrence. One supposes that there will be those similarly bereft at not having the full-on Jim Sweeney experience either.

That quibble aside, improv fans can tune in confident that the quality remains extremely high as the two riff off suggestions from the audience, adopting a variety of outrageous accents and doing their best to make the other corpse. Cheap entertainment at its finest - and no musical segments, either. Bonus.

It takes a brave pair to do improv in front of a raucous crowd. But Josie Lawrence and Jim Sweeney have more than enough credentials, characters and convincing accents to calculate the risk in Radio 4's favour.
