Jake Yapp's Cornershop Showdown
Welcome to Britain’s brightest new game show for 1976!
Join Jake Yapp (BBC Radio 4, U&Dave, Charlie Brooker’s Weekly Wipe) as he hosts a gleefully shambolic game show set in a 1970s corner shop where one lucky audience member could win a two-hour family holiday for four in North Luton, a Beautiful Porcelain Lady, and of course, FAGS GALORE. It’s a bit like watching an old episode of the Generation Game, only the host is only faintly masking crippling self-doubt, the assistant hates him, and the set is made of cardboard. Ok, it’s EXACTLY like the Generation Game. Expect a total unawareness of political correctness, barely-contained chaos, and a lot of cigarettes flying about.
‘Someone riffing about nothing at a million miles an hour as if their life genuinely depends on it’ - Stuart Heritage, The Guardian
'Clarity, intelligence, and brilliant comic instinct’ - Jamie P Robson, Broadway Baby
’Funny and smart in ways this paragraph cannot possibly convey’ - Charlie Brooker
Suitable for 16+
