This collection highlights the caricatures, piss-takes, and sitcoms that have cracked us up, and pulled the wool over our eyes for over five decades. From turkeys in gumboots and Fred Dagg, to Billy T, bro’Town and Jaquie Brown. As critic Diana Wichtel reflects, watching the evolution of native telly laughs is, “a rich and ridiculous, if often painful, pleasure.”
30 full-length programmes and excerpts showcase classic comedy moments: Dagg, Barry Crump, Country Calendar spoofs, Flight of the Conchords, A Week of It, McPhail and Gadsby, Letter to Blanchy, a best of Billy T James’ skit selection, Pete and Pio, the Topp Twins, Gliding On, Lyn of Tawa, Funny Business, Back of the Y, Eating Media Lunch, Forgotten Silver, and more.
