Summary

Join Alex and Ben - aka The Pin - in their weird twist on the double-act sketch show.

The Pin are a multiaward-winning comedy duo with a unique brand of self-reflexive comedy. Performed in front of a live studio audience, their sketches exist somewhere between razor-sharp smartness and joyous silliness. Expect sketches, commentary on the sketches, subtext, rewinds and replays until the line between the performance and critique blurs to hilarious effect.

Hilarious.

Quite simply the funniest sketch comedy you will find at the moment. Clever, witty and amazingly original.

Absolutely brilliant.

I wish there was more of this to be had in audiobook. Very clever little sketches and excellent for night time listening. I must have put this on a hundred times and I still love it. I hope they produce more shows.

Inventive and very funny

Quick witted and quickly delivered set of sketches. Have listened to this many times and find it original, funny and very entertaining.

Pretty close to perfect

Fresh as feck, with a fine streak of surrealism and, you know, funny stuff.

Disappointing

Sloppy, unfunny, borrows from the League of Gentlemen orange juice sketch about a hundred times, makes James Acaster look like a genius.
