They're an all-female comedy team called Skit Box. It's hard to tell if the ensemble's name is just a happy coincidence or an intentional play on words. Co-star Sarah Bishop dishes out the definitive answer. "It's cheeky but it sums up exactly what we're about: female comedy skits." Well played, Skit Box...but we see what you did there. The new web series features comedienne Greta Lee Jackson alongside Sydney actresses, Adele Vuko and Sarah Bishop.
