From the creators of Burning Down the Horse comes the world's first immersive historical sketch show. Get ready to be transported through the most important moments of yesteryear whether you like it or not. The Past blends Fishing4Chips' unique brand of gentle immersion with quick-fire sketch comedy, creating a show that is unlike anything that has ever come before. An absurd mix of Horrible Histories, Blackadder and Monty Python, the show puts the audience at its heart and comes with no promise of educational value. Looking back never looked so good.
