All the Animals: Ranked (by Comedians)

All the Animals: Ranked (by Comedians)

Leslie GoldProfessional company

Everybody has opinions about animals. Some of them are funny. We’re going to attempt what Charles Darwin, David Attenborough and the Muppets have never quite managed to do: definitively rank the animals – and have a whale of a time doing it. A panel of not quite tame comedians battle it out to determine the ultimate list of the best (and worst) animals, with an ever-evolving leader board plus animal-themed interactive games. A funny panel-show spin on our furry, feathery, finny friends! From the creator of 101 Rules for a Better World (by Comedians).
