About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a classic quiz format with extra jokes and a loose, cheeky vibe, especially if you like 8 Out of 10 Cats; Not for you if you prefer a straight, serious game show.

Pros: fun play-along quiz; sharp banter; lots of guest comedians | Cons: humour can be hit-or-miss; pacing sometimes slow; mash-up feels awkward
