At the discretion of colleague Simon Talbot, the comedians are introduced to the world of circus artistry, at the Academy of Untamed Creativity. Here they have to learn skills, such as juggling, balancing and acrobatics, in order to put on an impromptu show. After a somewhat shaky and hilarious performance, they only have 24 hours to turn their experiences into fresh new topical stand-up material, that they will perform in front of a live audience including their tough tutors.
