    Absolutely funny!

    This is Australian comedy at it's best.

    Now currently in it's third season, Thank God You're Here (TGYH) gives four guests a costume, a set, a few props and only one thing is missing... a script! Put into a costume, they must improvise their way through the scene.

    After the individual performance, they gather together for one final showdown: the All-In Group Challenge, in which they must improvise together in a scene.

    This is why I love Aussie comedy. It's fresh, original, and absolutely brilliant. While the US version didn't go as well as the Australian version, it's still a great show to enjoy!

    One of the best comedy sketch shows out there

    I didn't see the first episode of Thank God You're Here. My father did, and he told me he enjoyed it, and found it amusing. My father finds many things amusing, but I decided to watch it on the station it began on.

    I fell in love.

    Thank God You're Here brings out some of the best of Australian comedy. It brings out some of our greatest comedians and let's them take a scene and run wild with it. It is full of great improvisation, and it's definitely material for a thoroughly entertaining evening.

    The concept of the show is marvelously simple: a contest gets dressed up in a costume, then walks through a door, completely unaware of what scene lay beyond. They then do their best to improvise the scene before them, frequently answering questions provided by the actual crew of the show. The costumes are great, sometimes a little bit iffy, but it just adds to the hilarity of the show.

    One of the flaws of the show is it's Judge, Tom Gleisner. I can quite happily say his role is completely unnecessary, and, in choosing the winner, and criticising the contestants, he is always saying positive things - never a negative thing spills from his mouth. Rather than a judge, Gleisner appears to be what I'd call a "feel-good" instructor - because that's all he seems to actually do.

    Regardless, watch the show, and just mute it whenever Gleisner speaks. You'll be much happy that way.

    This Show Makes Me Angry

    I don't know whether this is just a problem with the latest season but most of the people in the scene (except of course the select comic) are literally reading from a script, meaning they decline most offers that the improviser makes, so there's very little actual room for improvisation and it ends up unfunny. For example, in the episode with Marty Sheargold, his character is asked for his name and he says he's Tommy. The other performers then shoot that down and say he's being silly and his name's Nathan. Like why??? It doesn't make sense. Cannot even be compared to Whose Line, which is actually great.

    One of Australias best Comedys

    Thank God Your Here is an awesome Australian comedy that is original, clever and bloody hilarious. The plot of the show is 4 famous Australian Comedians step in to a room in to a situation they know nothing about. The shows originialty is enormous and is a laugh a minute show (literally). The show is good probably because of the people on the show which is kinda nice as they have people like Frank Woodley, Glenn Archer and many more. Overall I think that this show deserves a lot of praise and I will rate it 96%. So I recommend watch it on TV buy it if you will because you will not find many better Australian Comedys.
