  • October 2008 Comedy Channel Highlights
    www.comedychannel.com.au OCTOBER 2008 HIGHLIGHTS THE MERRICK & ROSSO SHOW WORLD PREMIERE Thursday October 2 @ 8.30pm Continues Thursdays at 8.30pm Merrick and Rosso are back on the box where they belong, with the keys to the Foxtel car - and enough fuel in the tank to really cause some chaos! They’ll finally return to their broadcasting birth place at The Comedy Channel with THE MERRICK & ROSSO SHOW. So what’s on the cards for the new show? Each week the boys will front up before a live studio audience with their unique take on anything and everything. From what’s happening in the world of news to the big questions: Can you deep fry a watermelon? On THE MERRICK & ROSSO SHOW, celebrities will make regular guest appearances from in-studio interviews to recorded comedy pieces to show you a side of them never before seen. Into the mix will go plenty of studio audience interaction and more mayhem and stupidity than is legal in three states. For perhaps the first time, Merrick Watts and Tim Ross will truly focus the energy and excitement of their legendary sell-out live comedy shows and bring that force to the electric television. It’s hotter than Gordon Ramsay’s kitchen, is sure to top Brendan Nelson’s approval ratings and it’s ‘wronger’ than an Austrian family get-together. THE MERRICK & ROSSO SHOW will allow nobody to be immune from their parodies and sketch comedy. Finally, as Merrick and Rosso are keen to point out, “Put simply, the show is Morcambe and Wise meets The Star Wars Christmas Special at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting during The French Renaissance… on a weeknight.” Buckle up Australia, for a riotous half hour of THE MERRICK & ROSSO SHOW.

  • Tony Martin Was Born in Te Kuiti, New Zealand, in 1964, and Has Spent The
    Tony Martin was born in Te Kuiti, New Zealand, in 1964, and has spent the last thirty-odd years in Melbourne, Australia, writing, producing, directing and performing what his grandmother would have called ‘a lot of nonsense carry-on’. His credits are too numerous, or in some instances, too poor, to list in full, but include The D-Generation, The Late Show, Martin/Molloy and Get This. He is the author of Lolly Scramble, A Nest of Occasionals, Scarcely Relevant and that episode of Upper Middle Bogan where they go to Smorgy’s. DEADLY KERFUFFLE TONY MARTIN 1 THE GET-GO It was clear, from what Herb Turgent was saying, that the people at number 14 were different. ‘They’re different, that’s for sure,’ he’d said, even before Gordon had unhooked the chain on the back door. ‘And I wouldn’t put anything past ’em. You heard it here first.’ Herb was always saying ‘You heard it here first,’ and Gordon, his closest friend and neighbour, was always shaking his head, a response Herb chose to read as agreement. ‘Am I putting the jug on?’ Gordon enquired, as Herb stumbled into the kitchen, disentangling himself from a glaringly inappropriate parka. ‘Mandarin Breakfast?’ he offered, waving some orange packets of tea he’d won at the bowls club. A puff of bluster implied yes, so Gordon filled the kettle and steeled himself for Herb’s findings. ‘I reckon they could be a cell.’ Here we go. ‘A what? ’ ‘I saw this on Current Affair,’ said Herb, lowering his voice for effect.

  • Judith Lucy Comedian/Writer/Actor
    Judith Lucy Comedian/Writer/Actor Judith Lucy started performing stand-up comedy thirty years ago, and since then all her shows have been utterly, achingly, ‘provide warnings to asthmatics’ funny. Judith is a best-selling, award winning stand-up comedian, selling out huge venues across the country, playing theatres in big cities and across the regions. Rivetingly honest, with a Gatling gun gag rate, no one sees just one Judith Lucy show. Judith teamed up with good friend Denise Scott and created the critically acclaimed, smash hit stage show Disappointments. Together they won the 2017 Melbourne Comedy Festival’s People’s Choice Award, performed a run at Soho Theatre in London’s West End and sold out shows all over Australia. When Judith’s not on stage she’s the best-selling author of two devastatingly honest, hilarious books and created two ABC series: Judith Lucy’s Spiritual Journey and Judith Lucy Is All Woman, both of which were nominated for AACTA awards. In 2020, Judith has been seen back in her regular role on ABC TV’s smash hit show The Weekly with Charlie Pickering, has had her critically acclaimed stand-up show Judith Lucy Vs Men released on Amazon Prime Video, released a podcast series for the ABC Overwhelmed and Dying and signed her third book deal. So, there’s not much on. Basically, Judith is really funny, super busy and anyone who sees her agrees and they keep coming back. A simple but effective formula. “Great comedians have time for a sip of water after delivering a ripper punchline.
