Billed as "a sort of comedy Question Time" on Skinner's website, this new series is a weekly topical show that takes on the big (and not so big) issues in the news from the comedian's unique perspective. Skinner says: "It's me, two guest comedians and the citizens of Great Britain sharing our opinions on stuff in the news. On a good week, I will probably crowd surf."
