They’re Lining Up Around The Block

As we really should have mentioned earlier, Ten has grabbed the free-to-air rights to the local version of Whose Line Is It Anyway?, and starting tonight they’re screening it in (roughly) the HYBPA? timeslot for comedy fans who demand their laughs at the same time each week.

Unfortunately for those who demand their laughs be funny, this all-improv show is, as we mentioned earlier, not a high water mark in Australian comedy. So while it’s good news that it’s now available for free, whether it’s actually worth that hefty price tag is up for debate.

And as a debate is often what the “banter” on this show resembles, watching it tonight is a great way to prepare for the long argument to come as you wonder whether this whole “Australian comedy” thing is still worth your while. 9pm tonight! Enjoy!
