Laughed So Hard I Cried

They've done it again.

Resting Bitumen Face represents what I think might be Sketchy Broads' best work.

I've seen dozens of fantastic sketches in Sketchy Broads: Choosing the Bear β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… (2024) and Sketchy Broads: Easy Bake Coven β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜† (2025).

But this year, they've really nailed the balance of short and long. Punchy and drawn out. There's some magic at work here, occasionally there will be a bit that goes on a bit longer than I thought I want. Internally, I'm thinking that it's overstayed its welcome – but it hasn't. They're about to twist it and go somewhere completely unexpected with it.

They are not afraid to commit, completely, 100% to a bit they know is hilarious. And that commitment pays off in the form of an exceptional show.
