The World Of Simon Rich review
It's in the longer fictions in which the show finds its own place and pace, with an unhurried storytelling that sets up delightful images. The absurdity starts with a whimsical Alice In Wonderland-style tale about a nine-year-old girl and her adventures with a waistcoated goat.
