One series, 2011. Sitcom-cum-variety show, set backstage at a theatre; [[Dick and Dom]] play Dick and Dom, who run a comedy gig called ''Dick and Dom's Funny Business''; all the scenes are set either in the green room, the theatre office, or on the stage (the [[Studio Audience]] play the theatre audience.) Other recurring characters are Kelly-Anne, the theatre owner's daughter, who has a crush on Dom; the [[
The acts who appear in the show-within-the-show are actual up-and-coming sketch troupes like Pappy's and the Penny Dreadfuls.
Every episode features a foolish scheme on the part of either Dick or Dom, and a special guest who must absolutely not hear of the shenanigans... [[Hilarity Ensues]]. Many, many homages and [[Shout
{{tropelist}}
* [[Amusing Injuries]]: mostly but not all in the History of Funny Business segment, caused by a [[Plank Gag]], [[Banana Peel]], [[Rake Take]] or [[The Pratfall]]. Kelly-Anne delivers the odd [[Armor
* [[Attractive Bent Gender]]: Dick dresses as his twin sister, Dixie, in one episode; the special guest promptly falls in love with her. ([[Comically Missing the Point|Dick rather misses his sister at the end of the episode]], so Dom dresses up as another sister to console him.)
* [[Bottle Episode]]: Bottle series, in fact.
* [[Candid Camera Prank]] (Phone Scam version): One of their guests is an impressionist, and phones them up in character as [[Davina Mc Call]] to catch them out in one of their schemes.
* [[Caption Humor]]: done by holding up signs
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: It's fairly obvious when a bunch of mousetraps are introduced that someone will end up snapped...
* [[Clip Show]]: The last ''three episiodes of thirteen''. There's a reasonable amount of original material in them, what with the frame stories (and some of the clips shown [[Deleted Scenes|weren't included in the original episodes]]).
* [[The Ditz]]: Kelly-Anne
* [[Disguised in Drag]]: Dick, as Dom's wife Dixie.
Line 22:
* [[Hard Head]]
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: The hosts (on- and off-screen)
* Homage: To many famous comedy moments- for example, the [[The Adam and Joe Show
* [[Improv]] The rap improvsers, Abandoman, end each show.
* [[Instant Home Delivery]]
Line 37:
* [[Running Gag]]: Each episode has one, and there are also ones running all the way through, like a book falling on Dom's head.
* [[Saving the Orphanage]]: Raising money to save Funny Business from being closed down by the theatre owner.
* [[Sink
* Slapstick
* [[Special Guest]]: Every week.
* [[Stereo Fibbing]]
* [[Studio Audience]]
* [[Sue Donym]] “I'm Dick... sie. Dixie.”
