THE HOLLY HELLMAN HOUR

Leopards and squirrels and trains, oh my! An hour of original and extremely unserious new sketch comedy from Holly Hellman and a group of people here of their own free will.

Interested in an hour of nuanced philosophical discussion on the following topics:
– Philosophy
– Culture
– War?

Then for god’s sake look elsewhere. We recommend Bake Off.

If, however, you’re looking for sketches occupying the upper right quadrant of a graph where the x axis is labelled ‘funny’, the y ‘dramatically incoherent’, and jokes as long-winded as that previous one there, then come along down to the Holly Hellman Hour.

From the mind of a 2025 Royal Court shortlisted Young Playwright, and the bodies of actors willing to do this for free, comes an hour of new sketch comedy. With subjects ranging from squirrels to trains to more trains (we got
a bit carried away with the trains) there’s something for everyone, as long as you like at least one of those things. Otherwise, again, Bake Off seems a safe bet.
