United, the cast deserve credit for the energy with which they deliver quick, genuinely funny, and theme-appropriate lines, keeping the audience entranced.

Hoo-Haa You? is the extension of a comedy routine that's been running since 2010, where a team of skilled comics-come-actors use the real life stories of celebrity guests to create their “comedy fodder.” Friday's guest? The glaringly bald half of slapstick duo The Umbilical Brothers, Shane Dundas.

Speaking of audiences, participation is persistently enthusiastic as the crowd chants the "Hoo-Haa" theme on cue, claps out losers from improvisation games, and proudly rallies for their favoured team - Bones or Hearts.

The remaining 11 shows are sure to reveal something absurd and unique.
