The Unexpected Items is a sketch comedy group based in London, United Kingdom.

Established in 2008 at Oxford University by a group of students including Matt Lacey, their shows include a series of short sketches and songs that cover a range of topics from frivolous wordplay to satirical interpretations of current trends.[1]

The Unexpected Items have performed in a variety of venues from pub theatres such as The King's Head Theatre to the 420-seat Leicester Square Theatre and performed at the 2010 Glastonbury Festival. One of their sketches, Gap Yah acted by Matt Lacey, became a YouTube sensation in 2010, and the Gap Yah catchphrase gained popularity in schools and universities around the country.[2][3] In June 2010 Sugarbox Records released the official Gap Yah single entitled ‘Gap Yah’ feat. The Banter.[4]
