Hypothetical Series 4 Created by Josh Widdicombe, Tom Craine and Matthew Crosby. Written by Tom Craine and Matthew Crosby. Presented by Josh Widdicombe and James Acaster. Eight episodes are currently airing in the UK.
Each episode has 2 pairs of guests making stuff up for points. Josh poses some hypothetical questions and James passes out the points. Each round has a different different theme, the last round is always big hat or small hat. There's usually plenty of clowning around and an occasional improve skit.
The 4th series has some of Britain's top comedians, along with Victoria Coren Mitchell and Richard Osman. Some of my favs: Richard Ayoade, Maisie Adam, Dara O Briain, Bill Bailey, Jo Brand, Darren Harriot, Jon Richardson, Ross Noble and Angela Barnes. It's a bit chaotic, there's some swearing and plenty of noise. Gags are plentiful and usually make me laugh. I do like the Acaster brand of humor. Josh is more observational type of humor, James is more story driven, he appears in most of the skits. I had a nice time watching them.
