So I don’t want to spoil people – well, actually in this instance I really don’t give a fuck whether I spoil people or not, but you have to say “I don’t want to spoil people,” it’s a thing – but Cry for Justice is definitely a contender for worst comic of the decade only […]

Your guest judge tonight is Mary Murphy. Yes, that Mary Murphy. Uh huh. Grace and Nick: hip-hop. Oh lord, they’re bringing in Mary Murphy for the rehearsal vignettes too?
