Dawn French and Edward Rowe star in a new sketch show with a Cornish flavour. Park the clichés and open your eyes to the reality of this wondrous funny and feral land.

This week learn about the significance of little-known Cornish festival St. Crundy’s Day Eve, whilst Gen-Z hotel receptionists - LJ and Jess - have to deal with another customer. And find out the financial impact to Cornwall of an alien invasion of London.

Recorded in front of an audience at the Acorn Theatre in Penzance, Wosson Cornwall? is a sketch show celebrating everything that makes real contemporary Cornwall a culturally rich and funny place - its people, its history and its modern way of life.

This is the second episode in a four part series with an entirely Cornish cast and writing team.

The cast includes Dawn French (Vicar of Dibley / French and Saunders), Edward Rowe (star of Bafta-winning film BAIT and HBO’s Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon), Tamsyn Kelly (ITV2’s Stand Up Sketch Show, BBC New Comedian of the Year Award finalist 2021), Joanna Neary (Channel 4 sitcom Man Down and Gary Oldman film The Darkest Hour), Anna Keirle (award-winning Cornish stand-up, actress and writer) and award-winning actor Ciaran Clarke.

Written by James Henry, Morwenna Banks, Catherine Beazley, Max Davis, Gareth Edwards, Jane Harvey, Tamsyn Kelly, Jo Neary, and Alex Smith.
