The Cheap Seats

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.

Quick, witty, funny. Some reviewers who give it 1 etc are pieces of .... Guess. Following formats such as HYBPA and a hundred English versions. But it's generally Aussie and funnier. Nothing really like HYBPA , as it isn't a quiz format. Nor based on the original santo, sam and Ed podcast ( for those in the know. ) whenever you see a few 1 star reviews, automatically add 2 stars to the rating. Because some people are whining pieces of....

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.

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.
