Six brand new comedy pilots…Tell us what you think!
Starting Wednesday 27th April at 9pm, ABC TV’s Comedy Showroom launches six new comedy pilots made by some of Australia’s most exciting comedians, comedy writers, producers and directors. But viewers won’t have to wait each week for the latest pilot to be unleashed, with all of the pilots being made available to watch on ABC iview straight after the Comedy Showroom premiere.
Further to this, and in a network and Australian television first, we want our audience to tell us which pilots they think should come back as full TV series. Simply by clicking through from iview, our audience will have the opportunity to provide their feedback by answering a few quick questions or just by telling us what they like and don’t like.
No other network nurtures and supports Australian comedy like ABC TV.
So which pilots will our audience gravitate to? Which will they laugh at most? And which will they blast with criticism or want to see more of?
Will it be Ronny Chieng sharing his experiences as an International Student; Eddie Perfect’s absurd suburban life in The Future Is Expensive; The Katering Show’s Kate McLennan hitting rock bottom in life and love in her and Kate McCartney’s Bleak; Lawrence Mooney discovering what it takes for a 40-something-year-old man to finally grow up in Moonman; the desperate attempts of a deadbeat weed dealer to win his new neighbour’s affections in hot WA comedy team Mad Kids’ The Legend of Gavin Tanner; or Alison Bell’s struggles as a new mum in an oddball mothers’ group in The Letdown (produced by The Chaser’s Julian Morrow).
Ronny Chieng: International Student - Wednesday 27 April at 9pm
The Letdown - Wednesday 4 May at 9pm
The Legend of Gavin Tanner - Wednesday 11 May at 9pm
The Future is Expensive - Wednesday 18 May at 9pm
Bleak - Wednesday 25 May at 9pm
Moonman - Wednesday 1 June at 9pm
And all pilots are available on iview from Wednesday 27 April from 9.30pm.
All will be revealed when our best and brightest comedians invite you to join them in ABC TV’s Comedy Showroom.
