I recently returned to Will Mars’ Joke Thieves, a show where comedians perform a set, then swap and perform someone else’s. I had a lot of fun at this one, paired with a character comedian performing as a US drill sergeant.
Watch the full episode with four acts performing two sets each here:
The video description from the official channel is as follows:
🌍 It’s an international and absurdist explosion in Episode 10 of Joke Thieves!
First up, Marcus Beeby (Malaysia) faces off with Daniel Toppani (France) as they hilariously swap stand-up sets across cultures. Then, the stage turns surreal as two fully-costumed character comics — Nick Adamson and Scott Manley Hadley — go head-to-head in the most theatrical set swap yet.
🎭 Joke Thieves is a live comedy show where comedians perform each other’s material. Some crush, some crash — and it’s always unpredictable.
