Thank God You’re Here (2023)

Frankie McNair, who will make her TGYH debut, was named Best Newcomer at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2022.

Julia Zemiro AND Lloyd Langford again?

Not complaining with Julia, she was amazing in the other episode, but to have two people return so soon seems surprising!?

Sounds a bit like complaining. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

There’s something off with the show. I’m not finding it really funny at all.

I absolutely loved it back in the day but it just comes across as a bit try hard. I didn’t laugh once tonight.

Imagine if they got Matt Rife on an ep as a special guest when he toured here. Game over.

It’s good. But it’s definitely not great like the old days…

Hoping for Shaun Micallef before the season ends.

Totally baffling Micallef hasn’t appeared yet, either as contestant or judge. Maybe he’s being saved for the season finale?

Huge missed opportunity if he doesn’t come back at all, given how reliably funny he was in the original run (and considering how thoroughly disappointing most of the new comics have been so far).

Imagine an episode with Shaun and Michelle.

Shaun, Virginia, Julia and Frank Woodley would bring the house down during the all-in challenge

Does anyone know if all episodes have now been filmed?

I read a complaint somewhere online that this year some of them were giving one word responses and that the ensemble cast were correcting /controlling them… however I am sure this is how the show has always been . Might be new people watching that didn’t see it 14 or so years ago.

It’s always been like that.

That just shows the bad ones not to invite back

i get the frustration but the fact is that the format is improv only to the performer coming through the door, and the ensemble just have to keep steering it back to script, as clunky as it may be. It was something that bugged me in TGYH 1.0 but now I just get that the main goal is just to have the guest performer be able to provide witty ad-libs from the prompts provided. It’s not up to them to dictate or lead the story in the true Theatresports sense but just fill the gaps as comically as they can. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. That’s sort of the joy of it.
