Big Bite

This new show delivers consistently funny, smart and fresh comedy. The show just gets funnier and stronger week to week. Any comparisons to Comedy Inc and the like are totally useless - The Big Bite boasts a smaller, much more talented cast and incredibly funny gags of every kind from the obviously gifted comedy writing team. There are look-alike jokes (brilliant Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise not to mention Russell Crowe impersonations !), spoofs of well known Australian TV ads and tonnes of new and hilarious skits. The show works really well in its tightly packed half hour episodes - in the few weeks it's been on, it's already established a handful of genius, warm and new comedy characters - Mr. Gee the rock eistedford teacher is a personal favourite.

Do yourself a favour and check it out now! It's a half hour gem of comedy.

I agree with the majority of the comments about this show. It's got some fantastic, funny stuff, and it's a shame the show didn't run longer (Channel Seven spun it off into a terrible show that lasted about 4 episodes). Chris Lilley, whose characters included Mr G and Extreme Darren, got his start on this show, along with Rebecca Deunamuno who's now on CNNN, and Andrew O'Keefe, currently the new star of Channel Seven. I'm surprised with the comment made by the last user. This show is much funnier than Skithouse and the old Comedy Inc. If the new Comedy Inc. series is any good, it's because two of the writers from this show, Angus Fitzsimons and Kevin Brumpton, are the new head writers of Comedy Inc. I agree with the comment by Daz B. This show really will end up a classic. I hope Channel Seven keeps replays it soon.

This sketch show sometimes has 1 or 2 good jokes in it...and thats it. The rest is pathetic, unfunny and crap. I tried to give this show a try...about 2-3 times i have watched it and only wasted my life.

Big bite, comedy inc and skit house are the sketch shows of Australia and are all lousy and crap. skit house takes the jokes too far and do not know when to end the sketch even after the punch line is givin. Comedy inc are just try hards that is not funny at all and Big Bite just has 1 or 2 good jokes. The rest is just plain.

These shows are designed for simple minded people who have a low sense of humour. Australians do not know how to make comedies and are just wasting there time making these shows. For good comedy sketches, watch 'The sketch show' and 'The fast show' from the UK. They have one joke after another and the British know how to make comedies. Once a joke is givin the punch line, on with the next sketch.

I only started getting into this show after catching some one hour specials that aired this year. I wasn't expecting much from a commercial network comedy show. But it turns out to be incredibly funny, with a few performers who appear certain to end up staples of comedy television in Australia. Rebecca De Unamano, whose impersonations of Indira Naidu and Lee Lin Chin are uncanny, has already gone on to great things with 'CNNN'. Chris Lilley's 'Tommy Lee', and Mr G are also corkers, along with almost anything by Andrew Dyer (eg Johnny Tapp, Jim Waley) and Andrew O'Keefe (now the host of Deal or No Deal). Top direction from 'Roy Hollsotter Live's' Matthew Saville also features. The show was spun off into a woeful program 'Hamish and Andy' that occasionally featured some of the Big Bite performers, but seems to have been made by a totally different production team, and lasted just a few weeks before being axed. If like me you enjoyed this original show, consider checking out 'CNNN' (featuring some of the same writers) and the very underrated and very funny film 'The Honourable Wally Norman', co-written by the Big Bite's head writer, and directed by the legendary Ted Emery of 'Kath and Kim' and 'Fast Forward' fame. This show has made me a big fan of lots of the people on it, and shows there is real hope for the future of Aussie comedy TV.

I think this sketch comedy show is FANTASTIC and it beats all the other Australian ones. The cast show real talent.

I must especially commend Chris Lilley for his original, one of a kind characters. Extreme Darren and Mr Gee always make me laugh out loud.
