Abstract: The article is devoted to the study of prosodic markers of genre heterogeneity in British humorous discourse. The author focuses on Insult Comedy as a British humorous genre. The paper examines popular television formats associated with the genre and their structural features. The special focus is given to Insult Comedy as an element of humorous sketches. Based of the data obtained by the author in the course of the research, some prosodic markers of genre hybridity of Insult Comedy and sketch-comedy are identified and analysed. It is claimed that multi-generic humorous texts have a profound impact on the audience, which is confirmed by the emotional response of the audience. The observations made in the paper show that integration of genres provides great opportunities for the realization of creative potential and contribute to the creation of more complex and multi-layered humorous pieces.
