RiverMouth takes us on a thought-provoking journey with "The Human Race", while Elsie Rhymes shares a moving tribute to her father in "Cold Crumble". There’s plenty of humour too, with Stephanie Houtman’s relatable sketch "The Closet Clear Out", Phil Genoux’s clever poem "Stairlift to Heaven", and a classic comedy sketch from Comedy Casserole imagining a world where the news only reports good news.
