The show, Sketchy Times will see the late-night host perform in some multiple sketches wherein she will be portraying every character and will take a jibe at them on coping up with the 'new normal'.

The episodes of the series will all feature a different theme and will also include her musical parodies.

Lilly has over the year, amassed a massive fan-following as she entertained her fans by starring, writing, and producing in various rib-tickling as well as motivational videos on her YouTube channels wherein she has gained more than 36 million followers. Not only that, but she also hosted as well as executive produced her late-night show titled, A Little Late With Lilly Singh.
The premier season of the show was wrapped up in the month of May this year. Lilly's new sketch comedy show will be penned by her along with Sean O' Connar and Keisha Zollar.
