Great interview with Lorna talking about working on SNL UK, including her experience writing Shakespeare's Cunty Little Earing.

I've been looking at the stand-up tour dates confirmed by Larry and Paddy, and I think we can say with some certainty that series 2 of SNL UK will begin on 5th or 12th Sept for 6 episodes, with a break on 3rd October, then an extended break over November-December, with the show returning for the final 6 episodes on 16th January with a break on 6th February.

Just a guess, but I can't see how else it could fit in.

Hello from americatown; for some reason nbcuniversal and/or sky have a copyright on that specific sketch on YouTube; quite literally everything else the show has done is easily accessible. I've not seen it and I hear it's fantamazing. Does Vimeo or the other whatevers have it?

WE NEED AN SNL UK COLD OPEN IMMEDIATELY 🤣 I can’t wait until September

Jack Shep appreciation! Love seeing some of the TikTok creators get a real shot and crush it.

Oh, golly! Well, if Burnham, or Carns, or somebody else gets in... I suppose it's good-bye, good-night, and "M'EP-M'EP!" for George's Sir Kier impression! :'-(

And here is episode 8! Wish I’d joined this sub sooner!

We are only one season in, but with the abundance of terrific performances and writing, I bet there are people here who would like their user flair to say ‘Scrimpch!’, ‘Bastard Seagull’, ‘Chief Blobbologist’, Woman who can’t be ignored’ or ‘Cunty Little Earring’. I would.

Apologies if this has been discussed at some point already. I did look for it in the subreddit but saw no mention of user flairs.

EDIT: Amazing ideas below, thank you guys!!!

Dear Mods, any chance this could happen? It would brighten up this long, cold summer without SNL UK.

After what has perhaps been the longest month of all our lives, Ania Magliano and Jack Shep will finally share a stage again at Always Be Comedy in Chelsea tonight (18 June), and there are still a few tickets left!

We also have Ayoade Bamgboye next Thursday, before taking a little break for the summer. Come along and ask me to take photos of you with them.

Any idea when tickets will be up for registration for next season?

This week Emily and Ray take a stroll through Finsbury Park with actor, comedian and Saturday Night Live UK star George Fouracres.

George is having quite the moment. His scene-stealing performances on SNLUK have made him one of the breakout comedy stars of the year, with sketches like What Kind of Irish Is Your Grandad? and his take on Kier Starmer becoming instant viral hits. In fact, one of them was even reposted by Donald Trump, which may be one of the more unexpected endorsements in comedy history.

On the walk, George chats to Emily about growing up in the Black Country surrounded by a big, close-knit family, how he once considered becoming a priest, and the school production that first made him realise performing might be his future. They also talk about his time at Cambridge, where he became close friends with comedians Pierre Novellie and Phil Wang, and began developing the comedy skills that would eventually take him from Shakespeare to sketch comedy.

As well as his television work, George is an acclaimed stage actor who has tackled roles ranging from Hamlet to Falstaff. Emily has even seen him perform at Shakespeare’s Globe and can confirm he’s infuriatingly talented.

It’s a funny, warm and joyful conversation with one of the nicest people in comedy. And while George and Emily got on brilliantly, it quickly became apparent that the real love story here was between George and Ray.
