Synopsis
Fast-moving, topical comedy panel show

Mock The Week is a unique show that combines panel discussion, stand-up and improvised games that provide the perfect arena for seven comedians to take a satirical swipe at the events of the previous week.

Example rounds include: Headliners, where the initial letters of a newspaper headline and a photo of someone famous are given to the panel, the panel is then tasked with guessing the correct headline. Spinning The News, involves three of the performers heading over to the Performance Area where the News Generator randomly picks one of several topics to inspire players to step forward to perform a stand-up comedy piece.
