The Cheap Seats

If you like Cringe Australian comedy - You're in for a treat. Two 'Comedians' host a show looking back at the weeks events - with a horrible 1980's laugh track. The comedy's on par with 'Full House' circa 1987. Will be popular with dads over the age of 60. Absolutely dreadful.

Very similar content to Have You Been Paying Attention.

Delivered in a news show format. The presenters don't take themselves too seriously and look like they are having fun with it all.

I enjoyed it. Some laconic Aussie humour with a little trans Tasman rivalry thrown in.

Funny television and a welcome relief from the daily doom.

I originally rated this show a 3 after watching one episode but watched a second episode and was drawn in.

It gathered momentum with each passing week, Mel and Tim relaxed into their roles and the weekly guest comedians were brilliantly funny.

I've never felt the need to rewrite a review but felt I had to here. Well done to all involved and I look forward to seeing you all again next year.

Absolutely love this show. Chemistry between the two hosts is brilliant and rare on TV, feels like just natural pub banter between friends.

So so funny and I hope it sticks around!

If they swapped the awful New Zealander with one of the many great Aussie comedians this show may have a chance. It feels so rehearsed. The jokes are obviously pre written and rehearsed so the banter does not flow.
