There are many ways to make a great sketch. One of those ways is ensuring youâve established stakes that are introduced early on in the piece and inspire a totally visceral reaction. This weekâs sketch from Adam Murrayâ surely inspired by Mr. Showâs classic Titannicaâis equipped with clear, squirm-inducing stakes from the outset and serves as a perfect example of how to create near-instant audience engagement. Itâs also really funny. That, I suppose, is the most important thing.
