Australian Tumbleweed Awards 2014 – Best New Comedy. WINNER: Utopia – 40.74%. Voter Comments: “Utopia had actual jokes in it. And those jokes were funny!” “How sad that of the entire list of new comedies, the best is Utopia, a show by a group (Working Dog) that, at this point in their career, could knock this stuff out in its sleep. Nowhere near as incisive or rich with characters as Frontline, nor as existentially absurd as the best episodes of The Hollowmen, Utopia was still just good comic set-ups and sparkling dialogue, something Australian comedy could use a lot more.” “Utopia is piss funny and instantly recognisable to bureaucrats which shows they’ve nailed it.” RUNNERS-UP: Black Comedy – 38.27%, Soul Mates – 20.99%. LAST YEAR’S WINNER: Upper Middle Bogan.
