Hilarious, brave and wacky

This show has me in stitches for half an hour every time I watch it. The humour is so random and it's easy to laugh at because it's very harmless humour. Unlike shows such as Trigger Happy TV, where they get laughs out of humiliating members of the public, this show encourages the public to laugh at them instead. And if they don't get a laugh, they just do something even more ridiculous until they do.

Basically, this is like a sketch show, in which the 3 comediennes play different characters in different situations, only in this programme, they are not in a TV studio, they are in the street in front of real people, which is what makes it so funny.

My favourite characters are the "very busy" lady who can't stand waiting, the "friend of Elizabeth Taylor's" who thinks she has the right to queue-jumping, the social worker who is helping her friend re-integrate into society, the woman who can't speak without making strange noises, and the Animals Seeking Kindness charity collector who "just wants to play." These insane characters and many more, are all played out in front of unsuspecting members of the public that don't realise they are dealing with comedians, and seeing them trying to keep a straight face is hilarious.
