Add Mitchell and Webb Are Not Helping to your watchlist

Kiell Smyth-Bynoe

Well, it’s Mitchell and Webb – which, in comedy terms, is next-level. It’s like getting to sit at the grown-ups’ table. Then you realise the grown-ups are just as funny and silly, and they’ll let you have a sip of advocaat.

I’d worked with David before, when I did Would I Lie to You? I did an on-screen chemistry test with Rob. I’d also written withStevie Martin before. I’ve never worked with Krystal, so that was really fun. And Lara’s pretty much all the things I find funniest of all in human form.

Everybody wanted Red Flag apart from those people who were in a position to make it. But the return of Mitchell and Webb after such a long absence makes you realise that, sometimes, you just need to be patient.

Long before I even summoned the courage to try my hand at stand-up, I would have told you that Mitchell and Webb would be the two people I’d want to work with more than anyone else in the UK.

They gave me the option to do it over Zoom, because I live in Edinburgh. They said, “Don’t make a special trip.” Needless to say, I made a special trip. I was so nervous, I tipped over to the point of being numb. I was genuinely thinking, “How will my legs carry me into the room?”

In the original sketch show, they had behind-the-scenes stuff where the sketch ends and they’re just standing in their costumes, chatting. It’s an extension of that. To do stand-up you need to be aware what people think of you, and then address that. In this sketch show the writers’ room allows you to do something similar – and have fun with it.

Lara Ricote

I have other comics to thank for that. I watch them to toughen up, get brave. I want to watch a comic and think, “I can’t believe they exist in this actual world!”

I watch [US musical comedian] Cat Cohen and she makes me feel like I can do what I do. Maria Bamford is another one, and Rory Scovel, too.

Mexican soaps are very similar to each other. You have the rich family and the poor family, and then they fight. She had a huge part as a teacher in her 20s and people still call her by the teacher’s name in the street. She’s cool with that.

Most of my favourite comics are here. I’ve just got my visa, which cost me a hundred million bucks, so I’m notgoing anywhere. Until recently, I was living in a house full of clowns – you know, the French clowns who go to clown school? Clown school is actually very serious. They cry more than anyone else I’ve ever met.
