Plot Synopsis

BARONESS VON SKETCH SHOW is an all-female, single-camera sketch comedy series that celebrates the absurd, mines the embarrassing and satirizes our daily lives. The show is performed and written by Meredith MacNeill and award-winning Second City alumni Carolyn Taylor, Aurora Browne and Jennifer Whalen. The show's all-female cast draws upon 15 years of comedy experience and multiple collaborations to present an insightful, emotionally grounded series that captures the banalities and humor that comes from just trying to get along in the world. Offering a witty take on everyday concerns from the pretentiousness of ordering a fancy coffee to office and sexual politics, this satirical sketch comedy satirizes daily modern life.

For its U.S. premiere, IFC aired 13 episodes of Seasons 1 & 2 of the half-hour comedy series beginning Wednesday, August 2, 2017 at 10pm ET/PT. Six weeks later -- on Wednesday, September 13, 2017 -- at 11pm ET/PT, IFC aired the U.S. premiere of the second season of BARONESS VON SKETCH SHOW. The season opener, "It Satisfies on a Very Basic Level," touches on these topics: how to be single after the apocalypse; the ultimate birth plan; an unhappy police officer.

Season 3 of BARONESS VON SKETCH SHOW had its U.S. premiere on Wednesday, November 8, 2018 from 9-10pm ET/PT on IFC with back-to-back episodes. The remaining episodes of the 10-episode third season debut weekly, with episodes airing two at a time Thursdays starting at 9pm.

On Wednesday, October 30, 2019 at Midnight ET/PT, IFC aired the U.S. premiere of BARONESS VON SKETCH SHOW's fourth season, debuting two new episodes. Back-to-back episodes continue to premiere each Wednesday at Midnight, through November 27 -- all written and performed by Carolyn Taylor, Meredith MacNeill, Aurora Browne and Jennifer Whalen.

The fifth and final season of BARONESS VON SKETCH SHOW made its U.S. debut on Wednesday, October 14, 2020 at 11:59pm ET/PT on IFC. The series continues its exploration of the angst and absurdity of modern life, delivering their observations in bite sized nuggets of fun. The season opener features these sketches: when your ex's apartment is emotionally radioactive; female mobsters discuss the proper way to shoot someone; and dog-show drama.
