Sketch comedy is such a hard thing to do right, but Susie Youssef has nailed it. The writer/actor/comedian gives the old school form a twist, weaving little repeat jokes in while also letting one-liners hang, enjoying their moment. Between bits she chatted easily and showed great timing, playing with the audience in a warm tone but without schtick. As you laugh you might marvel at the prep time (seems some stand-ups don't even change their trackies before shows), and while it must be a nightmare to get ready, you'll be bloody pleased she did.
