Acclaimed sketch duo Max and Ivan have released six new short sketches under the title In Conversation.

In The Hostage Max Olesker plays a theatre director being held prisoner who gives his captor, played by Ivan Gonzalez, acting tips. In The Skype Call Olesker has an online chat with his dad (Gonzalez) and gets a few surprises. In The Hanging a condemned man has to complete that thing we all hate, a customer satisfaction survey.

In The Ride Olesker hitches a lift which takes a turn for the weird. The Duet features the twosome as country duo Jilly & Billy, who discover more than bargain for about each other during a live performance. And in The Festival Ivan Gonzalez plays a over-excited presenter reporting live from the Velocity Festival (although it looked suspiciously like the Latitude Festival to me).
