# Al Nash Shares the BTS of SNL UK | Russell Howard's Five Brilliant Things

Free with YouTube's ads, posted by Russell Howard.

From SNL UK and your favourite online viral sketches, it’s comic and actor Al Nash!

Al popped in to chat to Russell about why there’s nothing quite as enjoyable as a School Fair, the simple delight of the ‘umble crumpet and and extraordinary story about the time his flat was raided by the police. Yeah! You did’t see that one coming did you?

The chat also goes into fascinating detail of how they made that first season of SNL UK and what it’s like to forge a career as an online sketch comedian.

You can watch Al’s online stuff at alnashcomedy.co.uk (and you should: they are really fast silly sketches that properly nail the online culture at the moment). He will also feature in season two of SNL UK which will be on Sky this autumn, but you’ll see it in chunks on your online feed because nobody subscribes to Sky for the comedy. The football pays for everything else innit. . Welcome to the official Russell Howard channel!
