Encyclopedia > Canned Carrott

Canned Carrott (1990-1992) was a comedy stand-up and sketch-show by Jasper Carrott. It featured two sketches, "Wiggy" and "The Detectives".


The first sketch, "Wiggy", followed the adventures of a man with a bad wig (Played by Carrott). It was a slapstick comedy, which meant the characters were silent except for the narrator. It was similar in style to Mr Bean or The Benny Hill Show.


The second, and the more popular was "The Detectives", starring the police officers Briggs and Louis (Played by Carrott and Powell), who watched too many TV Police dramas, and unsuccesfully attempted to copy them. Such was the popularity of this sketch that it was transformed into its own television series, The Detectives.


Due to their involvement in Canned Carrott, Steve Punt and Hugh Dennis also got their own sketch show, called The Imaginatively Titled Punt & Dennis Show, which ran for two series.
