I managed to force myself to watch 3 episodes of this show, hoping it would improve. It did not. It was a nightmare. To call this show amateur would be an insult to amateur comedians who can sometimes be very funny. Jessica Holmes is painful to watch. Who is responsible for green-lighting this show? It feels like a Canadian content filler program "Bob, is that young woman still sitting out in the waiting room? Jessica Something? Why don't we let her do a show, and we'll let your brother direct it." 

Come on. This country is full of funny people: let's see some of them on TV.

Each sketch typically lasts a few minutes and presents a humorous situation, scenario, or interaction that delivers a punchline, comedic twist, or funny observation.
