Knickerbocker Glory is a free two-hander sketch show by Chock-A-Block Comedy, performed at Back Room. It follows the lives of everyday people who have no idea how funny they are, with comedy drawn from borderline verbatim conversations you might overhear on the bus. The show blends hyper-naturalism into a sketch format — dark, dry and deadpan. Characters include a supermarket worker in Yorkshire with early-onset arthritis and a small boss named Clifford, and a character named Keesh in Birmingham on a rampage at Craig. It runs for 60 minutes and is rated 16+.
Why see this show?
Sharp, naturalistic character comedy that finds the absurd in the everyday without reaching for it. If you like deadpan, observational humour grounded in real-sounding voices, this free show is a strong pick.
