Ellie & Natasia is a sketch comedy show starring Natasia Demetriou and Ellie White. All six episodes were released on BBC iPlayer on 21 June 2022.[1]

The show won Best TV Sketch Show at the Comedy.co.uk Awards 2022.[2] The Guardian described it as "outrageously good" in an in-depth review.[3] The Independent reviewer opined that it "marks the revival of the sketch show" and "the arrival in earnest of a formidable new double act".[4]

The creators drew on French and Saunders and Smack the Pony as inspirations.[5]
