In 2011 Hot Thespian Action will be combining all of our best sketches into one super mega ultra-BEST OF SHOW, and we want YOU to help us choose the content of the show.
Below, you'll find a list of all of the 60+ sketches that we've performed over the last five years. They're organized into the four Fringe Festival shows they originated at. Alongside the poll you'll find handy reminders to jog your memory as to what each sketch is about.
Feel free to select as many of your favourite sketches as you want from each show. You're not restricted to clicking on one. But choose your votes well, because once you've pressed the "Vote" button on each poll, there's no going back!
Now, to the polling stations!
