• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

I should add it sort of breaks the 4th wall rather than addressing the audience directly - but is so funny. Here's a clip you might be able to watch that's not on the BBC's site.

Here in the UK we have a brilliant comedy show call The Goes Wrong Show. Don't know if it's watchable outside the UK but here's a link to a typical episode. It started as a West End Show (When Peter Pan Goes Wrong - full stage show) and now has done two seasons as a TV show (30 min episodes)

I LOVE The Goes Wrong Show. Totally split my sides watching it! I think I've seen 3 series now plus a royal variety performance. :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:
