Gareth Hale And Norman Pace ( Hale and Pace )

Hale and Pace used to do some brilliant comedy sketches back in the day. Apparently they both started out as teachers before moving into comedy. The show went on to run from ( 88 ) until ( 98 ) with the early 90s being their peak period.

Here's a few of their classic sketches. I'm sure you'll find they're well worth a watch 😉😄.

ONSTAGE AT A COMEDY CLUB

I hold up a photo of a fat cat.

"Mood," I say.

I hold up a photo of a woman looking annoyed.

"Mood," I say.

I hold up a photo of a tipped cow.

"Big mood," I say.

The club is dead silent. Beads of sweat form on my brow.

I hold up a photo of Lady Gaga.

"Mood," I say.
