Other top-tier comedies are Victoriocity and The Offensive. The latter is basically what Armando Iannucci would make if he were writing a show about English football, so a great bet if you like Veep.

In theory this didn't matter all that much, So long as you could keep enough of your constituents happy to return you at the next election โ or, if not happy, then at least unable to imagine a better tomorrow.

Dropping a few in one go - hope it helps if youโre looking for inspiration! First is High Vaultage, a murder mystery set in a steampunk version of Victorian London. Seen comparisons to Discworld, and while I canโt see that, there is a similar sense of humour. #books #booksky๐๐
