The beauty of a live comedy sketch show, as opposed to the more rife genre of stand-up, is the sheer amount of diversity that can be packed into a well-honed example of the medium.
If you spend your hard-earned tokens on going to see a stand up comedian, and they're basically a bit crap, then you're stuck with that style of crapness for the whole of their act. Wheras, if you go along to a live sketch show performance and you don't particularly like a sketch, you know there'll be another one along in a minute so it doesn't really matter!
That's why I'd say it's always better to opt for a sketch show where possible, when you're weighing up the Manchester comedy listings.
