Following its debut as a Comedy Short in 2020, the eagerly awaited series of critically-lauded BBC comedy sketch show Lazy Susan is set to premiere on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer in 2022
From the minds of writer-performer Edinburgh Comedy Award nominees Freya Parker (The Mash Report) and Celeste Dring (This Country), Lazy Susan is described as a fresh and unique sketch show. Originating at the Edinburgh Fringe to five-star reviews and sold-out performances, the duo were commissioned to create and star in the BBC Three pilot which aired in 2019, to critical acclaim.
Freya and Celeste (Lazy Susan) return with well-loved characters from the BBC Three pilot, including Megan and Michaela who “don’t want any drama” and an achingly whimsical French woman, alongside some brand-new creations — a pair of inhumanly peppy Radio DJs, a couple of lads from Middlesbrough — all brought to life with joyful, sharply-observed performances. Expect smart commentary on our modern world and people falling over. Welcome to the world of Lazy Susan — as inviting as a warm bath, as unpredictable as a soufflé. Sketch comedy with heart, soul and just the right amount of weird.
The supporting cast of the new series features a plethora of comedy talent including James Acaster, Lou Sanders, Kiell Smith- Bynoe, Jason Forbes, Catherine Bohart, John Kearns, Evelyn Mok, Luke McQueen, Sunil Patel, Shivani Thussu, Ellie Kendrick, Rajiv Karia, Anna Leong Brophy, Laura White, and Phil Dunning.
