The half-hour program puts the Season 3 cast of "House of Lies" in the Upright Citizen's Brigade Theater in Los Angeles to perform improvisational comedy in front of a live audience.
The main four cast members (Don Cheadle, Kristen Bell, Ben Schwartz and Josh Lawson) are joined by new series additions Lauren Lapkus, Ryan Gaul and Eugene Cordero to act out situations based on audience suggestion. Cheadle and Bell may be new to improvisation, but they take to it like naturals. Likewise, Schwartz and Lawson, both veterans of improv comedy, shine.
The Mock the Week team are back with their traditional half-hour of seasonal silliness.
As well as all the usual hilarious Christmas chat covering everything from exploding chutney to inappropriate moose behaviour, the team have promised festive films, revealing out-takes and a wrapping master class from Dara O'Briain. Guests include Josh Widdicombe, Milton Jones, Ed Byrne, Stewart Francis and Katherine Ryan.
