About

An uproarious version of history that proves nothing is sacred – not even the Roman Empire, the French Revolution and the Spanish Inquisition.

From the rise of the Roman Empire to the chaos of the French Revolution, human history is stripped of its dignity through relentless, absurd slapstick. This sketch-driven romp turns the grandest moments of civilization into a series of ridiculous, irreverent collisions.
