Fifteen years into a career of joking, what’s the biggest joke of all? To still be doing it, according to the sketch group (or should that be “funny trio”?) Sheeps, who are reuniting this summer – with their first new show since 2018 – just because the idea makes them giggle. “All of our contemporaries stopped doing it,” says Daran “Jonno” Johnson. “The finances just don’t work, particularly when you’re pushing 40.”
“But it’s an apt joke for Sheeps,” deadpans Liam Williams, “that we’re the ones still ploughing on. It’s like we won the Royal Rumble [a last-man-standing wrestling contest] of sketch comedy.”
