Baroness von Sketch Show (2016)
TV Show
First aired
Four Canadian comedians, Carolyn Taylor, Meredith MacNeill, Aurora Browne and Jennifer Whalen, created and starred in this CBC series, which ran from 2016 to 2021. It is the most grown-up show here: sketches about the pretension of ordering a fancy coffee, office politics and sexual politics, written with a weary precision anyone in their thirties or forties will recognize.
It won the Canadian Screen Award for best sketch comedy four years running, from 2017 to 2020. The tone is warm rather than savage, the jokes come from tiny social rituals, and episodes are easy to dip into in any order.
